Maybe Napoleon conquers Germany as if it was the year 1806.

Doesn't look like it ... as I mentioned, presales are good but the number of shows is low which is limiting the OW numbers ... if the movie is really good, WOM should carry it into the christmas holidays when the long running time is less of an issue.

And it's possible that it gets school shows which will of course push midweek admissions.

early weekend estimates from insidekino.de for Germany:

#1: Napoleon - 300k (good)

#2: HungerPrequel - 250k (fine hold)

#3: Marvels - 50k

not a good weekend once more ...

I wonder what Wish will do in the weekend previews. Just from looking at my Cinema all showings were pretty full. Will we get the preview Numbers?

would probably have been #3 this weekend, maybe even approaching 6-digits which would be an outstanding number. cinemas are in dire need of a hit ...

Another so-so weekend … Napoleon opened within expectations, Hunger Games had an ok hold and - nice surprise - Wish had wide previews and would have come in #3 for the weekend (it's unusual that preview numbers get published, no idea why they changed that policy). Otoh, all holdovers had pretty steep drops (from already low levels), so overall, the weekend was still somewhat disappointing.

In Austria, similar results (once more, Pumuckl much stronger, might get to 100k total), plus strong results for the Lord of the Rings triple-features which sold about 3.500 tickets (=10.500 admissions). At the theaters where it played, it was easily the biggest seller this WE (at mine, it occupied the whole Saturday on 3 of the 9 screens, among them the biggest, which were about 80% full)

Next weekend: After this weeks super previews, there's no doubt Wish will have a strong real opening - anything below 400k would disappoint me. Also opening: SawX, with little competition in its demo, it might come near a 6-digit OW, too. So, overall a much better weekend!

First weekend estimates for Germany from insidekino.de:

#1: Wish - 360k (that's lower than I expected, last week's previews must have taken a lot of pressure out)

#2/3: Napoleon, HungerGamesPrequel - 175k each

#4: Saw 10 - 140k (very good)

so, on the positive side, 4 releases in the 6-digits-range. Otherwise it's looking sad, #5 atm would be Marvels with <30k admissions, that's awful.

update: lower estimates for everything, heavy snowfalls seem to put a brake on the BO this weekend

as far as I've seen it's a pretty limited release in Germany, so no big numbers but we should get some. I don't know if it's already playing in Austria, at least in my city it has no screens.

The final trend from insidekino.de:

#1 Wish 340k
#2 Napoleon 145k
#3 Hunger Games 137.5k
#4 Saw X 115k

#5 The Marvels 20k

 

Where I live the depth of the snow is up to 50cm - absolutely beautiful with the blue skies but not great for theaters...

[el sid]

The Monday update from insidekino.de - no changes:

#1 Wish 340k
#2 Napoleon 145k/490k total admissions
#3 Hunger Games 137.5k/922.5k
#4 Saw X 115T

All other films had less than 25k admissions.
Mark_G reports that Renaissance, Callas: Paris, 1958, Godzilla Minus One and Animal entered the charts so probably we will get their admission numbers tomorrow.
