BO Germany/Austria: Dune 2 fine 2nd weekend

Recommended Posts

and here are first weekend estimates from insidekino.de:

#1: It - 175k (-40%)

#2: BR - 125k (-30%)

#3: Snowman - 110k (incl. previews, prob. 100k fpr the weekend)

#4: Geostorm - 80k (also incl. previews)

#5: Cars3 - 65k (-24%)

 

remember that BR was way overestimated last Friday - might come in lower this time again.

And some Thursday actuals (source Blickpunkt:Film):

Holdovers:
It: 20.200 (actuals last Thursday were 45k)
Blade Runner: 19.150 (30k)
Kingsman 2: 7k (13k)
So the three films are chronically overestimated in the estimates, annoying. BR with the best hold but as mentioned, it could lose some power over the weekend, seems to be a Thursday and Friday film, I don't know why. 

New Releases:
The Snowman: 14.100
Geostorm: 10.5k – unsurprisingly a bit up from estimates probably thanks to walk ups
The Square (only 100 theaters, good reviews): 4k → 27.5k OW predicted in the first trend
Borg/McEnroe: 1.200 → 25 OW predicted

A lot of increases for holdovers, but the openers were too soft to make it an excellent weekend. It had the hardest drop and while it may still enjoy some nice helloween days, it will be at a disadvantage next weekend because of the big opener.

 

Next weekend: Fack Ju Göhte 3 may not make critics howl with joy but theaters are preparing for a monster opening, and while 2mil for the weekend are never easy  to reach, 1,5mil are the absolute bottom of expectations for the teen comedy. Jigsaw is timed for helloween but, same as It, there will be a considerable shortage of screens so the release date might not turn out as clever as it seemed. (Not only are screens at a premium, but I'd guess Jigsaw and FJG audiences are extremely overlapping).

Sounds like sales for FjG3 are finally picking up. Presales had been a bit lackluster, but the same had been true for the last one as well. It isn't really a franchise that counts all that much on presales, or even stuff like midnight previews.

 

Regardless of what happens, there will finally be really really big numbers to follow again. Even if the opening would "disappoint", it would still be decisively larger than any opening of the recent past. Well, at least since TFA and FjG2.

 

Looking back at 2015, wow what a year that was in terms of opening weekends. TFA with 2.14m, FjG2 with 2.115m, Spectre 1.68m, Fifty Shades of Grey 1.35m, FF7 1.33m, and finally Mockingjay 2 with 1.14m. Six movies opening above 1m admisions, two even above 2m. Comparing that to the recent past: 2013 had three above 1m, 2014 had two, 2016 barely one, and 2017 so far only has one as well.

2015's awesome was roughly on par with 2001, when 3 movies in that year passed 10m admission

The website wasn‘t available for me in the last two days. Damn.
 

These were the Thursday actuals (source Blickpunkt:Film). A really long weekend including Wednesday has begun, so there wasn‘t much pressure on the Thursday.

Fack ju Göhte 3 (released in 808(!) theaters, and no, critics do not howl with joy ;) and the score is a little bit under the last two films so let‘s see if WOM is also worse; FJG 2 had 403k admissions on its opening day, FJG counted 871.911 moviegoers OW, FJG2 had 2.115.200 fans OW): 280k – so remarkable under part II but as mentioned above, the very long weekend may cause that people prefer other days than the opening day
Jigsaw (355, #2-4 had very similar admissions and made ca. 7.5M US$, then the numbers decreased but Saw 3D followed the worldwide trend and made again 11M US$ and had 180k/800k admissions): 20k – not bad. I wonder how frontloaded it is but in the few theaters where I looked, the reservations were quite stable over the next days.

The Little Vampire 3D: (291, mixed reviews): 2.850
Maudie (75, mostly good reviews): 3.150
no numbers so far for God‘s Own Country (ca. 30 theaters, good and very good reviews)
 

Holdovers:

It: 11k (actuals last Thursday 20k)
BR: 10.5k (19k)
The Snowman: 10k (14k)
Ok holds given the large competition and also the lose of cinema halls because FJG3 captured almost all.
By the way I noticed that PotC5 is still playing in a few theaters and also had some reservations ;) .

 

And the rest of the second trend (including Sunday as usual, not the long weekend till Wednesday):
Cars 3: 50k -50%
Geostorm: 42.5k -58%
The Little Vampire 3D: 40k (up from 27.5k)
Kingsman 2: 30k -51%
Maudie: 25k

Sunday seems to have been excellent, 1.725 mil admissions are reported for FJG3 and most other releases went up from estimates, too. And with strong weekdays and Thor3 opening tomorrow, theaters are bound to stay packed - finally a relief after the horrible summer!

 

edit: Austria had excellent numbers, too - FJG3 seems to have scored the biggest opening day ever with >66k admissions on Thursday (including midnight shows)

Fack Ju Göhte starts at #1 with 1.725.872 admissions

> best start of the year by quiet a margin

> best start in the month of October

> 3rd best opening weekend ever for a german movie (Traumschiff Surprise 2.164.909, FJG2 2.155.200)

> people in the inside.kino forum are pointing out that it‘s in fact backloaded compared to FJG2, tomorrow we have a national holiday and today a lot of people use this day as a bridge day. One of the top 10 biggest opening weeks is possible.

 

I swear, if this movie ends up being the most successful movie of the year.....

One the one hand, im glad that this movie proves theres still life left in the german box office. Otoh, i dislike this series and hope, that SW8 can top it.

Fantastic weekend, with this opening FJG3 should be on ist way to safely more than 6mil admissions! Not that bad for Jigsaw either, considering the competition.

 

Next weekend: Thor3 is already in theaters and is doing ok, the first ones managed 1,1 and 1,4 mil admissions, maybe the 3rd one can cross 1,5 (Germany likes comedy stuff so this should be doing fine but of course it's up against a monster in the same demo ...). Other releases are short on screens …

FJG3 stands at 2.175mio admissions after 5 days, so around 450k adm on Monday. The midweek record (Monday-Wednesday) of SW7 (over 1,27mio adm) could be in danger. Even though SW8 is in a good position to bring the record back into the family with 25.12. / 26.12. on Monday/Tuesday this year.
