Very nice weekend overall! "Sex Tape" as expected with a good opening, but all other openers did ok, too! "A Most Wanted Man" with the 2nd-highest PTA., nice and should see a slight expansion.

After 2 weeks of drops, I had my doubts if QecqoafaBD could reach 3mil admissions (as the very first 2014 release, too!) but after this weekend's increase - in face of a nr.1 comedy opener - that number is locked.

 

T4 is still number one for 2014 with a little over 2.5mil admissions, both HTTYD2 and QecqoafaBD will overtake it next weekend - the comedy a bit faster thanks to strong weekday numbers.

But TF will still lead in $$$ right? I imagine QecqoafaBD lacking 3D keps it's gross lower. What about HTTYD2?

[IndustriousAngel]

T4 is faaar ahead in US$ ... HTTYD2 has a lot of cheap family tickets and lower 3D share.

[pepsa]

Was that a good drop for GOTG?

[IndustriousAngel]

Was that a good drop for GOTG?

It's having better drops than Lucy, so at least not bad. The legs are better than your average actioner's but worse than a comedy's, as you would expect with this movie.

[lab276]

Admissions are close-ish to matching last year through the same point.

[IndustriousAngel]

[bapi]

Just saw Fack ju Göhte today. And yesterday. Fantastic comedy. 8.5/10

Looks like WOM kicked in in the Czech Republic, too, with admissions going up on WE #3. It's really a funny movie.

[IndustriousAngel]

I haven't seen it but the fact that it had more than 7mil admissions in Germany speaks for itself. We're still waiting for our first 3mil-"GoldenScreen" this year

[pepsa]

The Hobbit won't reach 7M admission?

I think that is to high, what do you guys think?

[IndustriousAngel]

If I'd had to bet - no, won't reach 7mil.

 

First weekend trend is in:

#1: SexTape - 200k admissions (-45%, ouch)

#2: undecided as there are 3 films with about 125k admissions: QecqoafaBD, GotG and BieneMaja

#5: SinCity2 - 110k (ouch)

"Schoßgebete" opened MUCH lower than "Feuchtgebiete" - trend sees 25k for the weekend - ooouuuchhh!

You predict Maja for 125k admissions? How do animations fare in germany? I thought that was a german production, on something that was on TV and is a well known, liked character.

[IndustriousAngel]

It's doing ok, the animation looks really really cheap if somebody wants my opinion (which nobody does). Also, weather is better this weekend which is always bad for family movies - watching a movie is only choice #3 or #4 on your average weekend activities list.

 

Animation as a whole is fine in Germany, the MadPenguins later this year have a good chance of reaching 3mil admissions.

It opens next weekend in Poland so I'm curious. Especially that they have a cheaper family tickets promo with a big chain of supermarkets across the country. A ton of trailers for it. Hell one network runs them even on non animated adult movies including horrors (seen a promo for the  cheaper ticket Maja before As Above so below ...)

[juni78ukr]

I remember Insidekino predicted 1.3 mln admissions for Maja. Obviously not happening now. I wonder if Der 7bte Zwerg will do better next week. 

 

[IndustriousAngel]

Well, 1mil can easily happen with those numbers - considering how much impact weather has on the kids market.

[bapi]

Looks like WOM kicked in in the Czech Republic, too, with admissions going up on WE #3. It's really a funny movie.

Absolutely. I think people were expecting something dumb like 'Mädchen, Mädchen' but Fack ju Göhte is actually a great movie (78% on ČSFD, 22JS has 81%).

 

Wonder when we'll see american remake... with Colin Farrell?

[IndustriousAngel]

Final weekend trend - Sex Tape with a nice hold! SinCity 2 misses 100k admissions even including previews ...

 

#1: SexTape - 240k admissions (-35%)

#2: GotG - 120k (-40%)

#2: QeyqoafaBD - 120k (-35%)

#4: BieneMaja - 100k (-40%)

#5: SinCity2 - 85k (including previews)

 

overall slow weekend with bad drops even from WOM monsters ...

[lab276]

The French film has become number one of the year as of this weekend.

17	Wir sind die Neuen	18.212	287	63	752.657	-28	10

19	Saphirblau	12.271	283	43	524.259	-44	6
20	Rico, Oskar und die Tieferschatten	11.736	294	40	627.244	-16	11

 

weeell what a shitty weekend - every single opener underperformed, with the possible exception of the Nowitzki biopic.

 

The good news is that we have a new lead on the 2014 chart! Transformers4 fell back to #3:

1	Qu’est-ce qu’on a fait au Bon Dieu?	2.658.789
2	How to Train your Dragon 2	2.544.292
3	Transformers 4	2.507.340
4	The Wolf of Wall Street	2.394.611
5	Vaterfreuden	2.349.692

 

QecqoafaBD should also be the first 2014 release to cross the 3mil admission treshold - until now, not a single real blockbuster in 2014. (Even 3mil is a bit low for "blockbuster" imho; 5 or 6mil define a real hit)
