So, will Avatar reach 11m?

Eventually yes, I'd say. Eventually. Could take it until the fall, though.

Admissions:

1) 163,821 S&TC2 (-15 %)
2) 152,550 HANNI & NANNI
3) 105,422 PERSIA (+23 %)
4) 92,780 STREETDANCE (+21 %)
5) 49,003 MILLENIUM 3 (+18 %)

Avatar after 27 weekends:

10,864,667 admissions

If I remember correct it made about 7000 admissions this week. That would mean without any drops it will need about 19 more weeks. Not sure if it can make that 11m mark.

I don't think it'll play that long.

Re-release!!!

Shrek Forever After opens here next Wednesday. That means that all 3D releases will lose most of their 3D screens.

I've gotta see Avatar again before then.

This weekend is going to be terrible for the box-office here. Germany's match is on Sunday at 4 pm meaning that we'll barely see any business on Sunday. Last match (Wednesday at 8:30 pm) was seen by over 29 million people here (not including public viewings!) - I expect the upcoming one to be seen by 30 million at least.

On top of that the very warm summer finally started.

So yeah, all movies are going to die.

Sex and the City 2 will top the 5th weekend in a row, looking at 75,000 admissions this weekend which wll bring its total number of admissons to around 2.3 million.


No other movie will even top 50,000 admissions, it seems.

What the hell ? this is like the highest admissions market for SATC2. For such a poor movie 5 weeks in a row is freakin' awesome. Interesting pattern....why the hell are people not interested to see any other movie??

What other movies?
The distributors basically gave up on June because of the World Cup...

Oh right the World Cup Effect but still five weeks ........ for SATC2.........really hard to swallow

Weekend estimates:

1. Sex and the City 2 - 60,000 admissions (2,305,000 admissions in total - still 300,000+ admissions above the first film)
2. Hanni & Nanni - 45,000 admissions
3. Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time - 40,000 admissions
4. StreetDance 3D - 35,000 admissions


Yeah...WC and hot weather killed the box-office.

Darn Germany too much of WC effect. No one is ready to release any movies around and what happened to PoP I thought that could have taken the biggest advantage of the WC but this is going the other way around when compared to SATC2.

Prince of Persia benefits from it a lot as well, just not as much as SATC2 because of the demographics issue. Prince of Persia will end up with a multiplier around 5 which is great for this kind of a film.

Especially since Robin Hood and Iron Man 2 are not even passing the multiplier of 3...

Sex and the City 2 is bigger in admissions, but PoP will end up having the better multiplier.

To be fair, ROBIN HOOD and IRON MAN 2 opened on a rainy weekend while PERSIA opened on a sunny weekend - that skews the multiplier...

Shrek Forever After will top the weekend with BY FAR the worst admissions-wise opening of the series.

Sex and the City 2 is looking at 40,000 admissions this weekend at #2 in its sixth week. Will be above 2,350,000 admissions by the end of the weekend.

Weekend estimates:

Shrek Forever After - 475,000 admissions (5-day)
Sex and the City 2 - 35,000 admissions
Hanni & Nanni - 35,000 admissions
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time - 30,000 admissions

Looks like no other film got more than 20,000 admissions.


Prince of Persia is getting close to Robin Hood in admissions. Not sure whether it overtook Robin Hood this weekend, but it will do so next weekend at latest. A 1.55 million admissions finish seems likely, meaning a multiplier around 4.9.

admissions:

1) 394,286 SH4
2) 37,589 S&TC2 (-40 %)
3) 36,780 HANNI & NANNI (-20 %)
4) 32,743 PERSIA (-21 %)
5) 17,178 STREETDANCE (-53 %) while losing 44 % of its 3D theaters

How many movies in the Top 10 had less than 10,000 admissions this weekend?

Don't have all the numbers yet, but probably at least one, maybe up to three...

One as it turns out - Iron Man 2. #10 with less than 8,000 admissions.


It is amazing to see A Nightmare on Elm Street in the Top 10 after seven weeks!


Sex and the City 2 is at 2,380,677 admissions now. The first one had 2,473,566 in total, so it'll be overtaken pretty soon. A terrific performance overall, considering it decreased in many markets. Looks like it'll definitely land in the Top 10 of the year (the first one missed it just barely, landing at #11).

10,871,777 admissions for Avatar

Admissions are down 12 % for the first six months...
