How such cheap tickets in France? The cheapest ticket here for pretty much any film, even in a small town, is €10.

Different real estate cost ?

 

According to the leaked studio information France retention rate seem particularly low at just 39% (leaving more money to the theater), but that could be because there is a tax there I think to finance the movie industry on the movie ticket, not sure about that one.

[Marathon]

In general it would be interesting to find out all ticket price variation in mainland Europe.

[IndustriousAngel]

Doesn't seem that cheap to me, most of them are family tickets I guess, here in Austria you can get as low as 4€ for children in the afternoon (without 3D) plus there's family tickets where two parents (or generally grownups) pay the kiddie price if they have a kid with them.

As a comparison, in Germany, HT3 was at 169k admissions including Sunday, which meant 11,4mil €, that's an average ticket price of about 6,70€.

I2 in France may be a bit more adult driven than HT3 in Germany - HT3 TP in France in a bit below 6€ (Around 10% difference). But you're right, difference is not that big.

It seems to get bigger with Blockbusters:

Movie / France-TP / Germany-TP --> difference

MI6 / 9,6€ / 11,1€ --> ~14%

AIW / 8,1€ / 11,2€ --> ~28%

JW2 / 7,4€ / 10,8€ --> ~31%

 

(I hope BOM is reliable enough with its lc-cumes...)

A big part of the discrepancy may be because of different 3D-shares...

MI6 is just a bit behind MI5 (326k/-32%/2,21M). It should do around the same as MI5 at 2,8M+.

 

MI6 923k/2,8M+ (x3+)

MI5 977k/2,8M (x2,87)

MI4 632k/2,42M (x3,83)

MI3 997k/1,92M (x1,93)

MI2 1,61M/4,1M (x2,55)

MI1 1,71M/4,12M (x2,4)

 

EQ2 opened 15% above the first one (257k / 737k). EQ2 may reach 800k.

HT3 will pass the 2nd part soon (2,29M) to become the biggest of the series. It could do around 2,75M.

I2 has crossed 5M and should have passed AIW (5,044M) by now, Cine-directors has I2 at 5,09M after the whole week. It's the 3rd biggest movie of the year.

Its WE was higher than DM3 (131k/-36%/5,17M). After 190k last week it's behind by 140k now. It will do 5,5M+.

AMATW did around the same as AM1 on its 5th WE but is 80k above the first one. It should pass AM1 easily and may reach around 1,85M.

A WE with great holds and good openers!

 

Meg opened 126% above Rampage (and 28% above Solo... ). It should do 1,5M+.

BlacKkKlansman seems to be great too, but I don't really know what to compare it to. Maybe it can develope some legs...

MI6 cume is now well above MI5 after 4th WE (185k/-43%/2,46M). It should have a total closer to 2,9M, getting the biggest since MI2.

 

MI6 923k/2,9M+ (x3,15+)

MI5 977k/2,8M (x2,87)

MI4 632k/2,42M (x3,83)

MI3 997k/1,92M (x1,93)

MI2 1,61M/4,1M (x2,55)

MI1 1,71M/4,12M (x2,4)

 

With the best hold in the Top10 HT3 passed the second part (2,29M) to become the biggest in the series. It should get to 2,8M+.

I2 had a slight drop and is far above the 8th WE of DM3 now (91k/-30%/5,3M). The gap is decreasing as it's only half of last week (70k now). It may reach 5,6M, and could still be able to pass DM3 (5,64M).

However, it passed AIW to become the 4rd biggest movie of 2018:

Meg had an OK drop. Rampage 2nd week isn't comparable (in it's 3rd week it collapsed like most movies) but Meg is still 79% above. 1,5M seems like a done deal and it's going to reach more like 1,6M+.

 

BlacKkKlansman's drop was OK too, it'll easily reach 1M+.

 

HT3 had a great drop again. It's 58% above the first one and 18% higher than the second movie.

 

HT1 350k / 1,71M

HT2 441k / 2,29M

HT3 612k / 3M?

 

Maybe it has enough legs left to reach 3M - it may be hard though since vacation seems to be over now.

 

MI6 nearly reached MI5 to become the biggest of the series since the 2nd. From MI3 to MI6 every MI-movie increased from the previous.

 

MI6 923k/3M? (x3,25)

MI5 977k/2,8M (x2,87)

MI4 632k/2,42M (x3,83)

MI3 997k/1,92M (x1,93)

MI2 1,61M/4,1M (x2,55)

MI1 1,71M/4,12M (x2,4)

 

Like HT3 it'll try to reach 3M.

 

As had HT3, I2 had a great drop again, the best in the Top10. Its 9th WE was also better than DM3 again (123k/+35%/5,47M). It's still around 45k behind. 5,6M should happen, and passing DM3 is still possible. It should reach 2nd position on the yearly rank.

As vacation ended drops were harsh this time, especially for family movies.

 

Meg held pretty well actually dropping less than 50%. It may still reach 1,6M, more than double the cume of Rampage.

 

KKK had the best hold in the Top10, it may come closer to 1,1M.

 

MI6 held OK too. It passed MI5 now to become the 3rd biggest MI-movie. It still should be able to reach something around 3M+.

 

As for HT3 3M could be a bit to high now, it may just reach 2,9M+. However that'd be still a great result.

 

I2 should still reach around 5,6M+, and could become the 2nd biggest movie of the year, passing DM3 isn't very probable now though.

Many new movies in the Top10, nothing too interesting...

 

Meg with an even better hold, maybe it's trying to approach 1,7M, it should definitly reach 1,65M+. KkK with its best hold yet, too. It'll cross the million soon and should get to around 1,2M. And the first Harry Potter is back in cinemas in France.

 

MI6 is at 2,94M after the whole week - it'll reach 3M soon. It is yet the 8th biggest movie of the year but won't be able to reach JW2 (3,64M) on 7th - it may get close to 3,1M.

HT3 is at 2,83M, probably it'll not be able to get to 3M (should be close though) but it will reach 9th position on the yearly chart, held by MR (2,84M). Around 2,95M+.

I2 is around 5,52M, trying to get to 5,6M+, fighting for the 2nd position.

The Nun has the second best OW in the series:

 

Conjuring2 599k / 1,47M / x2,45

Nun 559k / ? / x?

Annabelle1 429k / 1,54M / x3,59

Annabelle2 372k / 1,23M / x3,3

Conjuring1 280k / 1,16M / x4,14

 

It should have a multipler between  Conjuring2 and Annabelle2 so between 1,35M and 1,85M. Since WOM in many countries isn't great it may get closer to the lower end. However, I think it could fight to become the biggest of the series with 1,5M+.

 

BlacKkKlansman held great again and is now aiming  for more than 1,35M. The Meg did well too, maybe it can now reach its 1,7M.

Family movies had big increases this week.

HT3 increased by 59% to reach the 11th position on the weekly chart with around 78k. It has a good shot  at 3M again. I2 increased 32% to reach around 50k again. That makes reaching 2nd position very probable again. 1st will be hard, but maybe it can get to 5,65M. It would pass DM3 5,64M, too.

In €, according to BOM, DM3 did €35,12M (last reported WE) and I2 should be around €35,3M. So it's not totally safe but it should be above by now...

Is #17 with 29.770 admissions from 19.-23.

The Nun had a rather good hold. It dropped much better than C2 (199k/-67%/941k).

 

Conjuring2 599k / 1,47M / x2,45

The Nun 559k / 1,45M / x2,6

Annabelle1 429k / 1,54M / x3,59

Annabelle2 372k / 1,23M / x3,3

Conjuring1 280k / 1,16M / x4,1

 

It may still be able to reach 1,5M, however, topping C2 won't be easy as it dropped much better the week after, so it'll may come closer to 1,45M.

 

Most of the other movies in the Top10 don't seem to be too interesting. BlacKkK dropped hard this WE but should still get to 1,3M+.

 

There was much change in the yearly Top10 though:

 

1	5.683.916	Les Tuche 3
2	5.609.386	La ch'tite famille
3	5.607.706	I2

8	2.993.154	MI6
9	2.937.637	HT3
10	2.842.864	MR

 

I2 has great late legs as it almost passed #2 already. It made around 35k this week. There's still a chance to get to #1. It'll surely make 5,65M+.

MI6 nearly passed 3M after a 20k WE. 3,05M+.

HT3 did around 45k. It's still trying to reach 3M.

A big OW for a local Movie again! ASIB seems to have a good OW too. Maybe it can reach around 1M, but at least it should get to 800k.

 

The Nun had an other good hold and should be able to pass C2.

 

Conjuring2 599k / 1,47M / x2,45

The Nun 559k / 1,5M / x2,7

Annabelle1 429k / 1,54M / x3,59

Annabelle2 372k / 1,23M / x3,3

Conjuring1 280k / 1,16M / x4,1

 

It should reach 1,5M+ and may even be able to pass A1 to become the biggest of the series.

 

BlacKkK is still on course for 1,3M+ with now 1,23M.

I2 reached the 2nd position at last. It had a great drop again (-19%) for around 29k. So it still has a chance to become 1st, which would be enough to pass the first Incredibles (5,69M). It only has 2k left to pass DM3. I think it'll get to 5,7M.

 

MI:6 seems to stop a tiny bit before passing 3M, but could still ultimately get there.

 

HT3 had a great drop, too, and will pass 3M and therefor MI:6 soon. It may end at 3,05M+.

 

HT1 350k / 1,71M / x4,89

HT2 441k / 2,29M / x5,19

HT3 612k / 3,05M / x4,98

Venom had a great OW. It's bigger than SM:H (802k) or Logan (815k). It'll easily pass 2M. However, how much exactly it'll be able to do will be up to its legs. It should at least have Suicide Squads multipler (x2,47) and at best maybe around Logans (x2,86) for 2,08M to 2,4M. Since reviews aren't that great I'll go with around 2,1M.

 

A great drop for ASIB. It'll most certainly reach 1M+ now while JE3 is far below Part 1 (428k) and 2 (184k).

 

As for the Nun it seems that passing C2 is harder than I thought. Despite being bigger on the weekends it's still behind in total admissions (C2 had 1,305M after 83k).

 

Conjuring2 599k / 1,47M / x2,45

The Nun 559k / 1,45M / x2,59

Annabelle1 429k / 1,54M / x3,59

Annabelle2 372k / 1,23M / x3,3

Conjuring1 280k / 1,16M / x4,1

 

Probably it won't be able since it doesn't drop great and will reach just around 1,45M.

 

Sadly there isn't any new number for I2 or HT3, but there was an update for MI:6. It passed 3M with 3,01M.

Venom held worse than SM:H (430k / -46% / 1,41M) and Logan (400k / -51% / 1,33M) but better than SS (309k / -67% / 1,42M). However, SS (-17%) and Logan (-26%) held great the WE after. Still on course for 2,1M+.

ASIB had a great hold again and could cross 1M as soon as next WE. How much it can do will be up to its legs but at least 1,2M+.
