It's still early but it looks as if Hobbit1 won't come near Skyfall for the weekend. Admission-wise, that is - with 3D it might close the gap. Of course this is opening one week earlier than the LotR-films so openings can't be compared 1:1 but it's down at least 20% from Fellowship I'd guess.

Wow, a drop in France and Germany, and not a small one. The early start is pretty bad.

Let's wait how it develops ... presales are strong but only for evening shows, in every show earlier than 7pm there are good seats available. Opening day or not, these are still work- and schooldays.

20% down in admissions or gross? A 20% drop in admissions would still be a high increase in gross from FOTR.

Here the numbers for Germany - opening week (not weekend) and total admissionsFotR: 2.654.362 --> 11.833.420TT: 2.933.480 --> 10.692.798RotK: 3.064.019 --> 10.432.470As can be seen, the franchise got a bit more frontloaded, and the question is if H1 will follow this trend or rather start a new one for H2 and H3.Now, if H1 makes 1,5mil admissions in Germany for week1, that would still put it behind FotR $-wise I think.Skyfall was at about 2,1mil

1.5m admissions/ $20m OW would be a good opening for TH1.

He said its not close to admissions of skyfall(2.136.263). So that means Hobbit is down from FOTR even in gross. I dont see hobbit coming close to ROTK in germany for sure even in gross.

Only if it manages excellent holds for the 3 holiday weekends.To put things into perspective: Skyfall opened while there were school holidays in parts of Germany. So it's very possible H1 has 3 very good weekends ahead - but only if the customers like the product

I have low expectations from the beginning. 6-6.5m admissions total.

Very strange opening for TheHobbit1 at my theater ... Wed evening was strong, Thu weak, Fri stronger than Wed?! and now Sat finally there are the first sellouts. It's not behaving as a much-waited-for blockbuster should; more like a 2nd weekend actually.

Yeah Fri was up 64% on Thu and Sat was up another 65% on FriWed-Sat around eu9.5m Edited December 16, 2012 by Rth

Germany – Friday pulled in €2.4m (US$3.1m) from 1,332 screens with a 63% market share, bringing the running cume to €5.5m (US$7.1m).

Saturday €3.96m- $5.1m - $12.2m

So $16-17m

[IndustriousAngel]

Really strange. It's obvious that this is a worse week than the one before Christmas but there's nearly no opening effect at all?!

[IndustriousAngel]

Sunday trend for Germany:Hobbit1 1.175mil (I think this includes Wed), BD2 175k, Skyfall and WiR fight for #3 with140k each, Guardians 85k, nothing else >50k.

Looks like it will do 16-18m for OW. Going by Rth's numbers, avg. ticket price seems quite high..... close to $15!

Maybe a bit, but not too much. I guess Spanish tickets are not as high as German's. In my city, which is not the most expensive, I paid 7.7€ (more than 10$) for a 2D ticket on Friday, and the 3D HFR ticket costs 10.7€ (more than 14$).
