BO Germany/Austria: Dune first 2024 blockbuster (3mil admissions)

[picores]

Can we count with superb legs with JB?  Is 30m in the table or the opening is too soft for that?

don't forget family tickets but that's a far cry from 500k admissions over the weekend, yes. Friday was <100k admissions, too, so atm we're headed rather for 350k than 500k it seems (of course, with rainy weather, Sat/Sun might pick up, so I#m still hopeful it might at least cross 400k)

Where do you get daily numbers?

[Aristis]

So Zoo (150k) is a bit up again, BvS with a bit less than 50% drop, Single with less than 5% drop excluding previews (20% including), Huntsmen 40% drop.

For Holdovers it's a very good weekend with superb drops (if they hold). Tomorow it won't be very good weather, too.

 

As for TJB: MarkG thinks of 375T-575T. If it can have more than 500k on the weekend (which should be doable considering the great reviews) it will be OK.

I read many reviews here in germany that say the movie is too scary for a younger audience. Furthermore some critics compare it to the 60s animated movie and miss the lightheartedness of the old movie. The 60s one was a big hit in germany. I personaly liked the new one very much but I can see why the movie will not be the extreme big hit the 60s version was here in germany.

wow, Zootopia is estimated as staying flat or even with a slight increase - that is plain crazy. I thought 4mil total was dead with JB opening but with this hold I'm not so sure anymore!

[Dingdong123]

Yasss Zoo is going hard!!

 

Sad with TJB. I hope it goes for a long run in Germany to make up the soft opening.

[IndustriousAngel]

final estimates for Germany are online and it's going up, up, up for most releases - weather seems to be getting worse the longer the weekend lasts!

[Aristis]

TJB with 460k admissions first for the weekend (4th best of the year).

How to be Single 195k

Zoo 150k (up 3%) 3,24M cume

Huntsmen 100k

BvS 75k

The Jungle Book was #1 but the opening can only be described as mediocre, especially if you look at other family stuff - Zootopia with an increase, even the unloved KFP3 stayed near flat - I'd say chances at 3mil total are alive but slim indeed. The other openers were unremarkable. Among holdovers, "How to Be Single" surprised with an incredible hold; with no new romcom next weekend it seems booked for 1mil total at the least. Sleeper hit "Le Goût des merveilles" increased along with an expansion and continues with its stable numbers, but I suspect with the near 300 theaters it has now a ceiling has been reached.

 

Next weekend:  "The Boss" and "Gods of Egypt" open wide; I can't imagine why anyone would buy a ticket for GoE but "Exodus" opened to >200k - so GoE might do 100k or more. "The Boss" should go a little higher but I think less than 200k. Meaning, Jungle Book will stay #1 and HtbS has a decent chance at staying #2 if it can manage a similar drop again.

Weather's looking pretty scheißig this weekend as well.

That's perfect for family stuff ... not that it would really matter but it would be nice if all movies could fulfill their respective "best" scenario - meaning, atm:

Jungle Book - 3mil total

Zootopia - 4mil total

Bibi&Tina3 - 2mil total

KFP3 - 1mil total

everybody loves solid, round numbers

The same reason why BvS is not as big a hit as many would expect because the action is darker, more intense & frightening than your typical lighthearted superhero movie slick Spider-Man or Tony & the gang.

First weekend trend for Germany is online and both wide openers are off to a very bad start ... The Boss and Gods of Egypt both are far below 100k for the weekend. Top3 stay the same as last weekend!

27.3 million tickets .    Great article on

 

Why Disney's Original 'Jungle Book' Is Germany's Biggest Film of All Time

 

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/germany-original-jungle-book-biggest-885953

Quote

The film's amazing teutonic success story is attributable to talent and lucky timing, and of a group of irreverent German musicians and cabaret artists who freely adapted the original Disney songs to suit their generation.

 

It is, most of all, the story of Heinrich Riethmuller, the German composer and music producer who, after producing the German dub work for Disney's Mary Poppins in 1964, got offered the Jungle Book gig. For the first time, Riethmuller had full control: he wrote the German translation, adapted the film's songs and directed the dubbed version of the film.

 

 

 

Quote

 

“Light, funny stories with talking animals, that's basically what works here. Animation for grown-ups, or anything too dark, has a hard time,” he says. “German audiences just want The Jungle Book, over and over again.”

 

Even the original has lost little of its appeal. The Jungle Book had its free-TV premiere in Germany only in 2014, 46 years after its original release. It drew 5.3 million viewers, a phenomenal 16.1 percent of the viewing audience.

 

Ironically, all that could work against Favreau's new Jungle Book in Germany.

That's about 1/3rd of the population. Usually the sign of a humongous hit.

[IndustriousAngel]

Saturday update for Germany:

#1: JB - 375k admissions (-20%, ok hold)

#2: HtbS - 135k (-30%)

#3: Zoo - 110k (-25%)

#4/5: openers Boss and GoE with about 70k, both including previews

#6: Huntsman - 65k (-35%, might reach #4 for the proper weekend)

 

The fact that JungleBook is having a softer drop than Zootopia seems to indicate good WOM; still I wouldn't bet on 3mil total atm.

That's indeed a very nice article. Minor nitpick though: Avatar isn't 3rd alltime, its in 10th place. Well, technically the list would get even more complicated if you take older movies into consideration (e.g. "Die Trapp Familie" sits at 27 million admissions as well *), but the accuracy of the numbers gets a big tricky when it comes to these movies

 

* funny thing about that one: "The Sound of Music" is pretty much a remake of this story. Somehow the movie that turned into the biggest movie of alltime in Britain and the US was such a colossal failure in Germany that it didn't even make back the costs of producing the copies, which is kind of weird if you consider that it is a remake of what was at that time the biggest film in Germany.

Final estimates are in; no big changes but "The Boss" is doing better than first estimated, safe on #4 with 90k (incl. previews). BvS again with a 50% drop, crazy.
