BO Germany/Austria: Dune first 2024 blockbuster (3mil admissions)

[terrestrial]

I had thought about to copy in that title too, but where to end? Some are still looking into Mockingjay details too, but that would be a big list, hence the reason I added the direct link

 

 

For the ones interested into the admissions sorted chart

Via the posters the top 10 should be clear

Herr der Ringe = LotR

Doctor Schiwago = Doctor ... Zhiwago or so

Seems like the SW ticket price is falling. Was at 11,5€ and is at 11,3€ now

 

If the numbers do not fall this fourth weekend is bigger than the same weekend TTT had (576K) and nearly as high as the fourth ROTK weekend (598K). Not bad at all.

I'm impressed by TFA's numbers in Germany, but wow I am more impressed that The Jungle Book is still in the top 3 of all time, did not realise it was up there. Very impressive for a film so old. Does the live action remake have potential to be huge in Germany?

[IndustriousAngel]

I guess rather not, the live adaption of 101 dalmatians had 2,3mil admissions back in '97 - that's a nice success but not blockbuster status. Cinderella barely jumped the 1,0mil treshold; Maleficent was at 1,5mil. The live adaptions seem to generate some business but not as much as the successful animations.

Agree to IndustriousAngel's assessment.

 

It's even #1 in admissions, with a far/big head start. Nowadays it's a huge success, if a movie reaches 7m (since 2010 a few local movies and, as the 2nd highest since 2010, Skyfall with 7.8m) or even 9m+ (#1 since 2010, a french movie = The Intouchables) admissions

A good hold from SW7 and a fantastic start for Revenant - would have cracked the 1.000 PTA with a few shows more; as it is we can expect an expansion and accordingly a very good 2nd weekend. 2 million total seem like a good goal atm; maybe even more with Oscar buzz. "The Danish Girl" is quite a success for its limited release, too.

With "Heidi" and "Ich bin dann mal weg" two domestic releases have crossed the million; some other releases are close to tresholds: MJ2, Spectre and Peanuts.

 

Next weekend:

"Creed" will be the most interesting opener from the Hollywood POV; the reviews are ok but Stallone is no big draw anymore … let's wait. "The 5th Wave" - will probably vanish soon; the trailer got laughed at and there's no buzz at all. "The Big Short" has a lot of starpower but I don't think the theme will interest the german audience.

[Giesi]

IndustriousAngel, do you think TR can top TFA next weekend?

[IndustriousAngel]

yes, I think there's a maybe 25% chance - depending on how much it expands, of course - TFA will drop to, say, 375k - so if Revenant can stay flat thanks to the expansion and more shows, we'll have a new nr.1!

[Jiffy]

How high will TFA go in USD? $120-130m?

Jungle Book #3? Wtf.

moneywise ... by admissions Jungle Book is so far ahead it's plain ridiculous. It's got far more than double the admissions of Avatar

 

edit: I'd really love for someone to dig a bit how realistic this number for Jungle Book is ... what I mean, Disney cartoons were always very popular, but Reithermans other big hit, Aristocats, clocked in at "only" 11,3mil admissions (and that had some re-releases too afaik); "The Lion King" was below 12mil too and no other Disney cartoon made more than 10mil. On insidekino Jungle Book's number is marked as a comparatively educated estimate; maybe someone has the time to check some contemporary sources (like newspaper archives ...?)

Real accounting didn't happen that far back, I think. That only started in the mid 80s.

 

I think it got mentioned somewhere on insidekino that those kind of numbers were rather common back in the days. "Die Trapp Familie" (which is what The Sound of Music is based on) had about 27 million admissions as well. "Grün ist die Heide" had 19, "Schwarzwaldmädel" 16 million. All of these are from the 50s. If you go back further, you even get 30-40 million admissions, if I remember it correctly.

 

You can actually find some of the re-relese data if you look through the yearly charts. 1971 for example gives you the numbers for Aristocats, split in four releases: 5.25 million (rough estimate) in 1971, 4.44 in 1980, 0.83 in 1988 and 0.78 in 1994, for a total of about 11.3 million.

 

For Jungle Book you get the following:

1968: 7.6 million (estimate)

1979: 9.1 million

1987: 5.47 million

1993: 4.17 million

2000: 1.04 million

total: 27.39 million

 

Other movies of that period, like Once Upon a Time in the West (13 million) or Trinity Is STILL My Name! (11.3 + ~1 = 12.3 million) either had none or only a small re-release, which makes Jungle Book's number not look that outrageous anymore.

[IndustriousAngel]

that's true ... I think most of Jungle Book's success has to do with the songs, they were immensely popular (some of theme still meme around) which might explain the fantastic numbers on re-releases. I was just taken aback by how far it is ahead of Aristocats (which I personally find even nicer!) and other Disney stuff.

Should be the biggest re-release by far

What's about a ... Zeitzeuge (term?)? As in for it's 1st run.

I can tell you this:

I never ever heard that much buzz about a movie here since then. Not even 1/2 of it.

EVERYBODY I knew then saw it at least once, the most repeatedly.

Nearly everybody drove me nuts with singing the songs (btw, one of the rare cases I liked part of the German version better than the original) for MONTHS. I belief every ticket for that movie that InsideKino lists.

 

edit: I took my nephews into one of the re-releases,... was in a way a mistake, they sang them too

Edited January 12, 2016 by terrestrial

[IndustriousAngel]

well, I'm a bit younger, born after the 1st run; the time I saw it must have been the '79 re-release when I was 11. I liked it but not as much as Aristocats or 101 Dalmatians.

Notably this week, China has bumped Australia out of the Top 5 offshore markets for TFA. The Middle Kingdom, with $65.7M, currently sits at No. 5. The UK is still tops with $162.5M, followed by Germany ($95.5M), France ($77.1M) and Japan ($69.4M). (Local PROC reporting by Ent Group has TFA at about $71.5M with Wednesday grosses included, which would lift it past Japan, but those are unconfirmed numbers.)...
