juni78ukr Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 What about Rubinrot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndustriousAngel Posted March 15, 2013 Author Share Posted March 15, 2013 At my theater, according to presales, Rubinrot opens better than Jack but not by much. Oz is leading in presales, #2 yet unclear with H&G, Rubinrot and some adult fare about head-to.head, but family films usually have little presales anyway. Keep in mind that "Rubinrot" is a German production and while we in Austria share much with our northern neighbours (including the language, kind of), german films usually do a lot better in Germany, and Austrian films in Austria. See recent examples Kokowääh2, Schlussmacher ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndustriousAngel Posted March 15, 2013 Author Share Posted March 15, 2013 Germany Friday trend: Oz 200k, Rubinrot and H&G about 150k each for the weekend. Slo, Oz with a decent drop, might profit from holidays starting next weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IndustriousAngel Posted March 15, 2013 Author Share Posted March 15, 2013 Yep, 1mil admissions total should be doable with this hold and holidays on the horizon. Still nothing to write home about, but better than it looked last week. As I said, with family films, it's all about the legs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terrestrial Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 ...#2 yet unclear with H&G,.......we in Austria share much with our northern neighbours (including the language, kind of), ....... 1. you mentioned you might watch it too, did you? 2. Reeeaaaaally? Calendar: Jänner =/= Januar (January) food: Erdäpfel =/= Kartoffeln (potatoes) Obers =/ Sahne (cream) Paradeiser =/= Tomaten (tomatoes) Kren =/= Meerrettich (horse-radish) Weight-strangeness => Zentner (hundredweight?): 1 Zenter in Austria is 100kg, in Germany it is only 50kg The pound is only in Germany in use ( 1/2kg ) big diffs in medical area terms too My 1st grade in school was ~ 15km like the birds fly away from the Austrian boarder. Our neighbours who lived there since ever (many generations) didn't understand the ones on the other side really well. But both spoke a real intense old (isolated) dialect, 'normal' to slightly dialect speakers have usually not a big problem beside reading the menue....

Poseidon Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 weekends about 10 US$ without 3D / overlength That's optimistic for bigger citys. Bigger cinemas around me are between $11 and as high as $13,50. It's really getting ridiculous. I've always said, that earning $100 with 20 visitors is much more worth, that earning $100 with 10 visitors. Those 20 visitors buy concession and cinemas do not have to share that profit with studios. But it seems like cinemas don't care. I don't understand it at all, cause our neighbours in France show how it could work with cheaper tickets and cinema festivals with special prices.

IndustriousAngel Posted March 16, 2013 Author Share Posted March 16, 2013 (edited) Saturday trend for Germany - seems the race for #2 will not be that close: 1: Oz: 200k admissions (good hold, -27%) 2: H&G: 160k (ok hold, -34%) 3: Rubinrot: 125k (rather disapponting for a young-adult-bestseller) 4: This is 40: 90k 5: Night Train to Lisabon: 75k (super hold, -13%) 70k admissions for Kokowääh2 and JackTGS (ugh) Weak numbers all around (with the exception of H&G) and a really bad weekend overall; still let's not despair, Germany's January and February were top and should more than balance the weak March.

terrestrial Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Austria, in between details for admissions Hansel & Gretel - Witchhunter (-43 %) = 22T admissions, still rank #1 New: This is 40 (20T/23T) Jack and the Giants (9T/10T) Rubinrot (5T/6T).

IndustriousAngel Posted March 18, 2013 Author Share Posted March 18, 2013 (edited) What an absolute disaster for Rubinrot in Austria ... and that with the biggest screens in many theaters up to the evening shows!

terrestrial Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 I feel for the ppl working there, no tipps... no tickets either for the owners... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndustriousAngel Posted March 18, 2013 Author Share Posted March 18, 2013 Frankly, I don't understand why this got those screens in the first place. It's neither 3D nor is the cinematography better than an ambitious TV production ... of course, it's distributed by Constantin who have more influence here in Austria than is healthy for the industry.

terrestrial Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 I have to 'confess' I only know about the title because I am reading / writing here... I read a lot, but not a lot of youth books, even when also running a public ~ school library. The ones I let myself get convinced into to read are either more Sci-Fi or... lets say, what the male youth tends to read. But usually the original version of those books (twisted 'excuse' before myself for reading it?) Still haven't read Markus Heitz whom so many here recommend either. I think it is a difficult 'job' to run a cinema, one mistake and you might miss not only for a whole week a lot of money, but ppl might also discover another cinema or.... 1000 little things, that can go wrong / make things difficult (including food) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Night Train to Lisbon" managed to stay #8 despite 3 openers in front ... super drop! But overall a rather weak weekend. Let's hope business picks up with scholl holidays starting Friday. There's a lot of openers again, so the chart will look a lot different for next weekend: French productions "De l'autre côté du périph" (buddy-cop-thriller witch Intouchables-star Omar Sy) and "Un plan parfait" (rom-com with Diane Kruger and Dany Boon); Dreamworks' "The Croods"; German girl/horse-bestseller adaption "Ostwind" (should do a bit better than Rubinrot); and finally "Spring Breakers", plus some limited releases.
