Very sad for Christopher Robin.

It's kind of funny, the new Terence Hill movie on its own will probably not interest many people at all, but combine it with a visit from Terence Hill himself and the roof blows off. I guess the chance to actually see a legendary actor / childhood hero is too unique to ignore.

 

Reminds of the time when Bud Spencer visited bookshops to present his autobiography, you had people queueing up ten hours before he was supposed to arrive, clogging the whole area. I think in Berlin they even hadto shut things down because there were way too many people around, and they also ran out of books, even though they had more than 1000+ at the store. And this wasn't the usual hype-crowd, it was grown men and women of all ages, from the entire social spectrum.

 

*Sigh* the good old days

 

Yes, next stop or one of the next stops of Terence Hill is mathäser in Munich on Sunday. Unfortunately all seats were taken before I noticed the visit. Can only wait in or in front of the theatre . I saw a docu about a fan meeting in Leipzig a few years ago and was surprised how many very young people showed up. These younger fans who learned about the Bud Spencer/Terence Hill films on TV combined with moviegoers from all/former decades just results in a large name recognition and popularity in Germany.

@Omni
Don't worry already. The upcoming weekend should be very good for this film. Mark_G predicts an increase of 30% so far.

[IndustriousAngel]

I think with weather turning rainy we should see some excellent holds and even increases despite the many openers. (Thursday was still kinda lousy BO-wise, though - rain seems to come a bit late)

[IndustriousAngel]

First estimtes from insidekino.de: Eq2 stays on top with 150k admissions (about 10% drop), other holdovers with similar holds. No opener in the Top5

M: I6, MM2, Sauerkrautkoma and HT3 all between 100k-110k in the first trend. The Meg 80k (only -12%), Christopher Robin around 75k (-9%).

And the Thursday actuals from Blickpunkt: Film:

The new releases:

Slender Man (released in 194 theaters): 8k → 55 OW predicted in the first trend
BlacKkKlansman (133): 6.3k → 55k OW
Gundermann (a German music biography, 137): 7.5k → 50k OW
Action Point (111): ?k → 15k OW
Special Event: Mein Name ist Somebody/My Name is Thomas had/has showtimes on Thursday and Sunday in 180 theaters: 6k yesterday

The holdovers:

The Equalizer2: 20k (actuals last Thursday 33k)
Sauerkrautkoma: 16k (20k)
Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again: 15k (31k)
Mission: Impossible - Fallout: 14k (20k)

Where I live it rains since hours.

2nd trend has EQ2 dropping to 120k (-38%) while MI6, HT3, Sauerkrautkoma and MM2 remain in the 100k range.

[IndustriousAngel]

Final wekend estimates much better, espacially family fare with good increases, and Eq2 up to 140k again!

[Aristis]

[HalloFromGermany]

Great hold for amlost all films, the bad weather really did its job.

Sauerkrautkoma (a local bavarian movie) with fantastic numbers, wonder how much it can do in its run.

MI:6 will cross the million mark this week - hope it'll have great legs here in Germany.

Maybe it can pass MI:3 and MI:5 in admission.

MI => 3.3 million

MI:2 => 4.4 million

MI:3 => 1.2 million

MI:4 => 1.6 million

MI:5 => 1.4 million

The weekend was ok but not as good as we hoped – thanks mostly to disappointing opener Slender Man which stayed far behind my expectations. Other openers were fine but the story this weekend were the holdovers, many of them with increases. Strongest PTA once more for Sauerkrautkoma which is leading last year’s Grießnockerlaffäre by over 100k at the same point in its run – will become the strongest release for this franchise for sure and has a tiny chance at 1mil total. Btw, in Austria, the Bavarian comedy was #1 this weekend for the 3rd time!

Next weekend: The biggest new release will be The Spy Who Dumped Me, which should win the weekend even if not by that much. Weather conditions will be better so expect harsh drops for many releases, however Thursday (which is included in Germany’s weekend numbers) looks rainier so the openers might have very strong opening days.

The Thursday estimates for the whole country:

The new releases:

The Spy Who Dumped Me/Bad Spies (379): 6.5k
Safari – Match Me If You Can (a German Comedy, 515): 6k
Asphaltgorillas (a German Comedy Drama): 3.5k
Grüner wird’s nicht, sagte der Gärtner und flog davon (a German Comedy Drama, 219): 3.5k
The Children Act (110): 3k
Käpt'n Sharky (a German animation film, 318): ?k

Mostly very nice holds:

The Equalizer 2: 20k (actuals last Thursday 20k) – would be great and last week the estimate was very close to the actual number
Sauerkrautkoma: 14k (16k) – very good
Mission: Impossible - Fallout: 13k (14k) - also
Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again: 10.5k (15k)
BlacKkKlansman: 6.5k (6.3k) – an increase as in the South-West report below
Gundermann: 4k (7.5k)
Slender Man: 3.5k (8k)
HT3: a bit over 1k evening only (estimated under 1k evening only)

And the South-West report (with holidays): Still not much buzz around the new releases also in this report: The Spy Who Dumped Me leads with 313 admissions in the selected theaters followed by Asphaltgorillas with 128, 109 for The Children Act, meager 90 for Safari, no number for Grüner wird’s nicht.
The holds look quite good here too, some movies even increased: Equalizer2 602 (last Thursday 731), M: I6 330 (458), Mamma Mia2 383 (401), Sauerkrautkoma 327 (288), Slender Man 176 (373), The Meg 169 (282), and nice also for BlacKkKlansman with 166 (112).
 

Mark_G sees 100k admissions for Safari, 75k for The Spy Who Dumped Me and 50k for Grüner wird’s nicht. The rest of the new releases will probably stay under 50k admissions.
The holds should be mixed: Only -25% for BlacKkKlansman but due to the new competition more hefty drops for the family films: HT3 -40%, Christopher Robin -50%.
School holidays in 28% of the republic.
The weather is predicted to become quite good in the north but pretty bad and cold in the south.

[IndustriousAngel]

wow, that's pretty floppy for Spy ... nice (for theaters) that the weather stays rainier in the south, Sauerkrautkoma with a strong hold again!

[el sid]

The first trend from insidekino:

#1-3 The Equalizer 2 and HT 3 and Sauerkrautkoma with each 100k
#4+5 MM2 and Bad Spies (with previews) each 75k
#6 M:I6 65k

And some Thursday actuals (source Blickpunkt:Film):

The new releases:

The Spy Who Dumped Me/Bad Spies : 10k
Safari: 5k → only 50k OW in the first trend
Asphaltgorillas: 6k → 35k OW
Grüner wird’s nicht, sagte der Gärtner und flog davon: 5.5k → 35k OW
The Children Act: 4.2k → 25k OW - the only new release above the expectations
Käpt'n Sharky: 2.6k → 25k OW

Mostly very nice numbers for the holdovers:

The Equalizer 2: 17k (actuals last Thursday 20k)
Sauerkrautkoma: 17k (16k) - it increased!
HT3: 13.5k whole day (?k)
MM2: 11.5k (15k)
Mission: Impossible - Fallout: 11k (14k)

I hope numbers will go up over the weekend. At least here in Bavaria it rains and rains.

a 23% drop for Sauerkrautoma, nice but to be expected with rain in the south. The Spy Who Dumped Me probably not even in the Top5 if you subtract the Ladies' Nights, wow - I was sure it could at least win the weekend! Some excellent holds further down the list, Blackkklansman nearly flat (don't know the exact number of theaters but should have had an expansion).

[miketheavenger]

3rd trend now has HT3 slightly ahead with 105k while Sauerkrautkoma and EQ2 remain at 100k. No big changes with the other films.

[IndustriousAngel]

Nice surprise, HT3 on top

[George Parr]

Monday Numbers:

 

#1 HT 3 115k

#2 Sauerkrautkoma 105k

#3 The Equalizer 2 102.5k,

#4 Bad Spies 82.5k (60k without previews)

#5 M:I 6 75k

#6 Mamma Mia 2 70k
#7 Christopher Robin 57.5k

#8 Meg 55k

#9 Safari 52.5k (32.5k without previews)

#10 BlacKkKlansman 42.5k

[IndustriousAngel]

In Austria, Spy was the winner - much higher PTA than in Germany (double I'd guess) - HT3 also very strong, as was Sauerkrautkoma.

While there were some good holds once more, the weekend fell rather flat thanks to weak openers - Hotel Transylvania 3 took the top spot in its 7th week. Best PTA once more for Sauerkrautkoma which is leading last year's entry by nearly 200k at this point!

Next weekend: StoneAge/Wolf drama Alpha and The Nun are the big openers, besides domestic teen comedy Das schönste Mädchen der Welt. With Slender Man not drawing much attention, maybe The Nun can profit from little competition and become #1.
