BO Germany/Austria: Inside Out 2 #1 with best 2024 OW

hmph ... final weekend trend look even worse for Interstellar, 375k admissions (and that's including previews) - seems to be rather frontloaded. I hope it doesn't implode next weekend

It's a bit disappointing

Germany and France were among the few countries where it could be successful..

Yes, not so good. The opening isn't that far behind Inception, but it's troubling how frontloaded it seems to be. 1mil admissions should be locked, but with "Die Mannschaft" opening Thursday, 1.5mil seem nearly impossible now.

[moviesRus]

Interstellar will probably lose out on some casual date night people. Die Mannschaft is more of an event film. I think it won't have a huge impact on Interstellar in the long run since it will be on TV soon anyways. 

[ShouldIBeHere]

Yes, "Die Mannschaft" will hurt it and reviews have not been too kind in most big German newspapers and magazines.

 

Anecdotal evidence: the WoM I heard is okay at best and abysmal at worst.

That's underwhelmnig for Interstellar, but at least drops weren't too bad so overall a mediocre but not bad weekend. The only release dropping hard was TMNT which won't reach 1mil admissions - a goal in reach for MR.

Good but not spectacular opening for "Interstellar" and a very nice drop for "Love, Rosie" (no doubt thanks to virtually no competition in the date-movie department). TMNT crumbled. "Fading Gigolo" made it into my list thanks to a successful opening weekend in Austria where it made it to #4 on the charts!

Outlook for next weekend:

In Germany (and that accounts for 80 - 85% of my combined chart), "Die Mannschaft" will easily take the weekend crown. It's hard to estimate the potential of this "docu" about the world cup, but presales look very strong and we may see the highest opening of the year yet - 500k admissions are the lower treshhold in my estimates, but it should get a bit higher. Some other notable openers, with less lofty expectations: "A Walk Among the Tombstones", "Dumb and Dumber To", "Nightcrawler", "Before I Go to Sleep" and "The Rewrite". Some quality stuff there but screens will be at a premium with Interstellar still going strong and theaters re-assigning screens to "Die Mannschaft" thanks to strong demand, so the potential for those releases is very limited - but we might see some nice PTAs, overall we can expect a fine weekend from the theater's view!

[IndustriousAngel]

First trend for Germany's weekend:

MarkG from insidekino.de gives a range from 250-550k admissions for "Die Mannschaft" (really hard to gauge with erratic playtimes and a high walk-in potential)

Interstellar at 300k, good hold!

Among Hollywood openers, "A Walk Among the Tombstones" trends to 140k admissions, "Dumb and dumber to" to 125k. Neeson is very reliable as an action asset but this is lagging far behind "Non Stop" ...

Everything else below 50k, so Maze Runner and TMNT won't reach the million.

[Fullbuster]

The Hunger Games 2 was quite big there, with a good improvement over THG1 so do you expect big numbers for THG3?

yes, of course!

[el sid]

Not much change, only that "Die Mannschaft" will get at a max 400k. But no wonder with so few playtimes, for example only 7 (!) for the whole week in my cinema. That's because the TV-date is so near, still I don't really understand that strategy. It could have done well (or lets say even better) in cinema and also as a free TV-premiere!

But good for the fans of "Interstellar" which still holds well.

The two smaller newcomers "Nightcrawler" and the Nicole Kidman film "Before I Go to Sleep" are now both on course for 50k admissions. For "Nightcrawler" the prediction was a little bit higher, but "Before I Go to Sleep" doubled its prediction. Nice - I think the plot sounds interesting. And Nightcrawler gets at least very good reviews. 

"Mr. Turner" in its second week should have exactly the same number of admissions as last week - 25k.

A much asked-for world cup film and a lot of smaller openers cannibalising each other, that's this wek's story. Interstellar made up for the underwhelming opening with a good 2nd weekend!

QecqoafaBD has now crosssed 3,5mil admissions without ever having been #1 ... and the run is not yet over, still in the Top10 in week 17!

How's IS doing in German IMAX?

How's IS doing in German IMAX?

No idea, really - the shows are selling ok, but IMAX is not really a major factor yet in Germany so the overall influence of the format is lower than in the USA.

A lot of new Stuff in here; TMNT and the Equalizer dropped out of sight, and Interstellar had a fantastic hold, nearly as good as QecqoafaBD! MazeRunner and GoneGirl - two releases with hitherto excellent legs - saw their first steep drops.

Outlook for next weekend:

Mockingjay 1 should account for the strongest opening of the year, easily. So expect steep drops for evening movies because there's a LOT of screens allocated to the franchise (including triple-features).

Not necessarily, drops weren't too bad last year. No idea how to quote it nicely: http://forums.boxoffice.com/index.php?/topic/3044-bo-germanyaustria-worldcup-movie-die-mannschaft-1-interstellar-2-with-good-hold/?p=1131285

[IndustriousAngel]

It depends ... FJG was a phenomenon and a comedy, and "Das Kleine Gespenst" was a kid film with only afternoon shows. But Thor2 suffered a real implosion. Now I don't think it will that bad for Interstellar, but a drop >30% seems probable.

[IndustriousAngel]

Previews and persales indicate that MJ1 will open at least as good as CF last year, meaning more than 1mil admissions for the weekend and about 1,2mil including previews. Might even get higher with walk-in business.

[Olive]

2nd trend

MJ1 - 1.275 mil

Interstellar - 200k

 Die Mannschaft - 200k

DADT - 100K

[IndustriousAngel]

35% drop for Interstellar, actually good if you consider that in many theaters, there were no Friday evening shows thanks to the HG franchise occupying every screen.
