Big OW for a local title again, but also good holds for the other movies!

 

Smallfoot, with a great increase, should make it to at least 1,5M+ (next WE it might drop hard after such an increase...).

Venom had a great drop too. It held better than SS (256k/-17%/1,8M), Logan (296k/-26%/1,7M), SM:H (233k/-46%/1,78M). So it'll get to around 2,3M.

Halloween didn't open as strong as in Germany here...

 

However, CineDirectors updated the yearly chart. Here's the Top20:

 

1	I2	5,699
2	Les Tuche 3	5,687
3	La ch'tite famille	5,623
4	AIW	5,143
5	BP	3,688

17	AMATW	1,804
18	Peter Rabbit	1,696
19	Belle et Sébastian 3	1,682
20	Meg	1,622

 

I2 is now the biggest movie of the year with nearly 5,7M admissions and HT3 passed MI6 again.

BR has a great OW, 3,3x ASIB and 1,5x LaLaLand. LLL did 4,5x its OW, ASIB should do around more than 6x its OW. Probably BR won't come close to those numbers, but it may reach LLL 2,75M+. However, if it isn't as frontloaded as I fear and has good WOM it may do even more...

Halloween had a great hold (probably because wednesday, when Halloween occured this year, is part of the WE here). It may have a big drop next week. Maybe it still can reach 1M.

ASIB accidently didn't occur in the TOP10 last week (it was though with around 200k/+10%). It didn't fall much this WE, even facing BR. It should do at least 1,85M+, but I could see around 2M too.

With last WE being inflated by holiday, this WE has some bad drops...

 

BR stayed on top - having the best drop in the Top10. It already passed ASIB. LLL held better on its 2nd WE (445k/-26%/1,2M) but BR is still in front by 40%. As it occurs now, passing LLL shouldn't be a problem and it could even reach 3M+.

 

The local title Le Grand Bain still does big numbers and should reach the yearly Top5 soon, passing BP (3,69M). It'll get anywhere at 4M+.

 

Smallfoot had a huge drop this WE after being massively inflated before. This WE is still did around 52% of its OW. It had some interesting holds yet...

1st WE 230k

2nd WE 463k (+101%)

3rd WE 407k (-12%)

4th WE 120k (-70%)

It should reach 1,9M+.

 

ASIB had an other good hold, 2nd best of the Top10 behind only BR. It already did 5,34x its OW. It may not reach 2M (it could however) but it's still on course for 1,85M+, which would be enough for 6,5x its OW.

 

Venom hadn't had a good drop this WE. However, with 2,21M it's still above SS (83k/-43%/2,17M), SM:H (89k/-34%/2,13M) and Logan (93k/-42%/2,1M), all of which landed around 2,3M. Venom should become the biggest of those with around 2,35M.

 

Halloween, as I thought, had a big drop this WE - the biggest in the Top10. It probably won't reach 1M but should pass 900k.

[Gavin Feng]

how is the WOM of Un amour impossible?

[efialtes76]

FB2 opened with 321,907 admissions.

FB1-209,447.

[pepsa]

Big increase, I am loving it !

 

[Aristis]

The first one opened to 1,27M OW (around €8,55M, $9,05M). While Euro isn't great it's better than in 2016 (1,13 vs 1,06).

 

FB2 may be more frontloaded than FB1, it should open to at least 1,5M after such an OD, though... So maybe €10M+ and $11,5M+.

 

The OD at least is very promising, now I'm hoping for good numbers in Germany too!

Edited November 15, 2018 by Aristis

[Jak Ryan Drake Campbell]

After its first 5 days of operation, FB2 increases by 15 to 20% compared to FB1. For its full week, forecasts are 1.7 million tickets sold for Beast 2, against 1.42 million tickets sold for FB1.
It is a pretty good score, especially with the national roadblocks in France against the government, now we will see his legs. The oral mouth is more positive than the US (3.3 / 5 of the press and 3.9 / 5 users).

[Aristis]

WE: 14.11. - 18.11.

 

1	1.485.824	---	1.485.824	1	FB2
2	400.888	-33	2.201.351	3	BR
3	302.620	-40	3.478.430	4	Le grand Bain

9	78.010	---	78.010	1	Spiders Web
10	74.414	-38	1.704.411	5	Smallfoot

 

FB2 topped the first part by 17%, which is great with the circumstances it faced. It had the 5th biggest OW of the year:

 

1	2.015.704	Ch'tite famille
2	1.977.271	Les Tuche 3
3	1.841.295	AIW
4	1.516.963	I2
5	1.485.824	FB2

 

The internal WE-multi being much weaker than the first (4,6x vs. 6,05x) may partly be contributed to those strikes and demonstrations occuring nationwide, too. Maybe it can have a nice drop next WE therefore. FB1 dropped 40% in its 2nd WE, FB2 had to drop less than 49% to top that WE. Maybe it can get closer to a 45% drop.

FB1 had a multipler of x3,15. The same would get FB2 to 4,68M. However, being a sequel it may be a bit more frontloaded than that. It just needs x2,69 to top FB1 (4M) which should be possible, maybe it can approach a x3 multipler for around 4,4M+,which, for now, would earn it a yearly Top5 position.

 

BR had another great drop. FB2 big OW didn't hurt it. BR is 34% in front of LLL (330k/-26%/1,64M) and should pass it in one or two weeks. 3M is safe now and maybe it can even come close to 3,5M. However, around 3,25M+ is a safer bet. It'll get into the yearly Top10, too.

 

http://www.insidekino.de/BO/F2018.htm

[Jak Ryan Drake Campbell]

The numbers are there:

 

FB2 made 1.65 million admissions on its first week against 1.42M for FB1. And it looks like it's going on since the numbers on Wednesday, announces a 40% drop for its second week, or 990.000 tickets sold. (FB1 second week : 860k)
There is a good reception here.

Edited November 21, 2018 by Jak Ryan Drake Campbell

[Jak Ryan Drake Campbell]

About thursday numbers, we have a new predictions for 21/28-11 week  (not dollars but admissions here):

 

FB2 - 990k (-40%) - total : 2,640 million admission after 2 weeks. 

BR - 340k (-30%) - total : 2,620 million admission

 

[Jak Ryan Drake Campbell]

21-25/11 (last update until wednesday with final score)

 

1. Grindelwald - 940k (-43%) 
2. B.R - 425k (-14%)
3. The Grand Bath 285k (-21%)
5. Overlord 130k (NE)

Bohemian continues to impress, Grindelwald remains first with a good lead over FB1.

 

 

FB1 vS Grindelwald (admissions)

 

1st week : 1,420m vS 1,640m 

2nd week : 860k vS 940k

Total : 2,280m - 2,580m

10	68.538	-27	192.143	2	Les Chatouilles

 

FB2 had an decent hold compared to FB1 (760k/-40%/2,18M). It's still 12% ahead (17% after OW), however, the 2nd WE is just 6% above Part one. It should still be able to beat FB1 with maybe around 4,25M+.

 

BR had an other amazing hold and is just around 110k behind the endresult of LLL. A total around 3,5M+ is now probable.

Grinch opened below most of the Illumination movies except The Lorax and Hop.

 

Minions 1,77M / 6,59M (x3,72) --> 2,03M

DM3 1,39M / 5,64M (x4,06)

DM2 1,01M / 4,66M (x4,61)

Pets 821k / 3,75M (x4,57)

Sing 756k / 3,53M (x4,67)

DM1 621k / 3,01M (x4,85) --> 2,65M

Grinch 547k /

Lorax 194k / 612k (x3,15)

Hop 156k / 572k (x3,67)

 

However, it was able to double the Grinch movie from 2000.

 

Grinch (2000) 250k* / 921k (x3,7*) (277k for OWeek)

 

Illumination multiplers would get it anywhere from 2M to 2,65M. Most of those opened earlier in the year though, so the multipler may change for the Grinch. Coco and Vaiana, that opened around the same time, had a multipler above x5. The same would get Grinch to around 2,7M.

 

FB2 3rd WE still was a bit higher than FB1 (558k/-40%/2,74M). The total is around 10% above. FB1 made another 1,26M after that, a bit less may still get FB2 to 4,2M. However, without a SW movie this late year it may be able  to hold a bit better over christmas...

 

BR had another great hold and will have passed 3M untill now. It also passed LLL and should be one of the biggest musically movies. It seems that BR really could come close to 4M.

 

Le grand bain will be another movie above 4M soon as it's on its way to 4,25M+.

10	73.025	-49	4.063.733	7	Le grand bain

 

Grinch had a not so great 2nd WE drop, even though it faced the local Animation Asterix: The Secret of the Magic Potion. DM1, the lowest of the bigger Illumination movies, dropped just 27% (facing another local movie, the third part of Arthur and the Invisibles movies that opened to 750k in 2010). It dropped around the same than Pets. A similiar multipler to that ones x4,57 would get Grinch around 2,5M. However, with Christmas holidays coming this might be able to do more than that.

 

FB2 is just a little bit behind FB1 4th WE (270k/-41%/3,06M) and it still leads in cume by 270k. With holidays approaching it should be able to pass its predecessor to do around 4,2M.

 

BR is still doing good business as it passed 3M and reached the yearly Top10. It still seems possible to reach 4M.

9	119.020	-30	668.002	3	Sauver ou perir
10	112.808	-35	3.387.180	7	BR

 

Good drop for the Grinch now, especially compared to the other holdovers. It's still far below most other Illumination comps; DM1 (527k/+16%/1,6M), Sing (430k/-14%/1,86M), Pets (295k/-44%/2,1M). Holding like those from now on it could get anywhere from 2M to 2,85M. It may end around the middle of that.

 

Minions 1,77M / 6,59M (x3,72)

DM3 1,39M / 5,64M (x4,06)

DM2 1,01M / 4,66M (x4,61)

Pets 821k / 3,75M (x4,57)

Sing 756k / 3,53M (x4,67)

DM1 621k / 3,01M (x4,85)

Grinch 547k / 2,4M (x4,4)

Lorax 194k / 612k (x3,15)

Hop 156k / 572k (x3,67)

 

With 2,4M it'd be the lowest Illumination in some years and a multipler around x4,4 would seem rather weak for a Christmas movie. However, it's still much bigger than the 2000 Grinch that did just around 920k.

 

Many new openers of which ME was the biggest. It did quite well actually, especially compared to other countries... Spiderverse isn't too bad too in comparison. Both may reach around 600k.

 

FB2 continues dropping harder than it predecessor (196k/-27%/3,3M). It's just 240k above that one now. Dropping like FB1 from now one would get FB2 to 4,1M. After being up 17% on OW it'd be down to just 2,5%. Still, even such a small increase would be more than most countries did...

 

Another relatively hard drop for BR. 4M may be too much but it should reach around 3,8M.

TOP 5 FRANCE: 1-ASTERIX - LE SECRET DE LA POTION MAGIQUE 2-AQUAMAN 3-LE GRINCH 4-PUPILLE 5-MORTAL ENGINES

10	98.000	-55	356.165	2	ME

 

Aquaman opens on top of the WE right in the middle of the DCEU.

 

BvS   1,001M / 2,5M (x2,5)

SSquad   0,923M / 2,28M (x2,47)

MoS   0,867M / 2,3M (x2,65)

AQM   0,766M / 2,3M (x3)

JL   0,741M / 1,72M (x2,32)

WW   0,643M / 2,17M (x3,37)

 

With the lowest multipler it would get to 1,8M, with legs like WW it could reach nearly 2,6M. With christmas legs it might have a chance to become the biggest DCEU. It should reach at least 2,3M.

 

MPR didn't do great in France as well. In a country that seems to like musically movies 290k just isn't enough to call it a success - it opened barely above ASIB (283k) that, with great legs, managed to cross 1,8M. MPR probably won't develope such legs. Maybe it can reach 1,25M.

 

Another good drop for the Grinch. Around 2,5M seems to be the target.

 

FB2 6th WE is far behind FB1 WE now (139k /-29% / 3,56M). If it can't increase next WE it might actually fall behind... The target is to top FB1 total admissions 4M.

 

BR on the other hand had a great drop. Maybe it'll still be able to reach 4M.

Aquaman opens on top of the WE right in the middle of the DCEU.

 

BvS   1,001M / 2,5M (x2,5)

SSquad   0,923M / 2,28M (x2,47)

MoS   0,867M / 2,3M (x2,65)

AQM   0,766M / 2,3M (x3)

JL   0,741M / 1,72M (x2,32)

WW   0,643M / 2,17M (x3,37)

 

With the lowest multipler it would get to 1,8M, with legs like WW it could reach nearly 2,6M. With christmas legs it might have a chance to become the biggest DCEU. It should reach at least 2,3M.

 

MPR didn't do great in France as well. In a country that seems to like musically movies 290k just isn't enough to call it a success - it opened barely above ASIB (283k) that, with great legs, managed to cross 1,8M. MPR probably won't develope such legs. Maybe it can reach 1,25M.

 

Another good drop for the Grinch. Around 2,5M seems to be the target.

 

FB2 6th WE is far behind FB1 WE now (139k /-29% / 3,56M). If it can't increase next WE it might actually fall behind... The target is to top FB1 total admissions 4M.

 

BR on the other hand had a great drop. Maybe it'll still be able to reach 4M.

Wow, That’s a great performance for Aquaman considering its first day was the lowest from the DCEU it’s means it’s already showing legs.
