 Re: Germany Box-Office Thread: Shrek Forever After new #1!
We're in for yet ANOTHER very hot weekend with two major World Cup matches and only one wide opener (Predators).
Sex and the City 2 will might place as #4 this weekend (in its 7th week) and that with less than 30,000 admissions over the weekend.
Meh
At least the weekend after Eclipse opens.

 Re: Germany Box-Office Thread: Shrek Forever After new #1!
Oh right. No #3 for SATC2 then.
I wonder if they might place above Predators over the weekend.

 Re: Germany Box-Office Thread: Shrek Forever After new #1!
The Double Features did 248,727 last year, but sales are much slower for the Triple - but it could happen as PREDATORS is looking like 150,000 right now...

 Re: Germany Box-Office Thread: Shrek Forever After new #1!
I wonder if the worse sales for the triple feature mean better sales with the Ladies Night showings on Wednesday.

 Re: Germany Box-Office Thread: Shrek Forever After new #1!
What I've heard is that the Wednesday previews are on the same level or slightly better than the triples...

 Re: Germany Box-Office Thread: Shrek Forever After new #1!
So will the tripled just be added to each of the three films' admissions number?

 Re: Germany Box-Office Thread: Shrek Forever After new #1!
Yep, unfortunately time is running out for TWILIGHT to get a GOLDENE LEINWAND for 3m admissions as the 18 months limit is over by July 14th and it needs another 215,000 tix...

 Weekend 28/10
Admissions:
1) 256,319 SHREK (-35 %) 2) 132,716 TWILIGHT 3) 132,623 NEW MOON 4) 131,111 PREDATORS 5) 32,824 HANNI & NANNI (-11 %)
Another deflated weekend: Saturday Night was dead because of Germany vs. Uruguay, Sunday Night was dead because of the World Cup Finale and the whole weekend was dead because of temperatures of more than 37 degrees Celsius (100 degrees Fahrenheit) And the forecasts predict the heatwave to last for another week...

 Re: Germany Box-Office Thread: Shrek Forever After #1 again
How come there's a difference between Twilight and New Moon?

 Re: Germany Box-Office Thread: Shrek Forever After #1 again
Eclipse/Inception/Toy Story 3 can't come soon enough to revive the box-office.

 Re: Germany Box-Office Thread: Shrek Forever After #1 again
Sex and the City 2 (still in the Top 10 here) is now at 2,429,394 admissions here, very close to the first film's final tally of 2,473,566 admissions. Definitely a slight overperformer here considering how it did in most other markets. With Toy Story 3 ahead I am not even sure that Shrek Forever After will overtake it. It might happen, but it's not a lock.
Avatar is at 10,873,523 admissions, still adding a little each week.
Iron Man 2 is currently at 960,477 admissions (#11 of 2010). That's 17% higher than the first one, but still a little disappointing for the sequel (that it won't pass 1,000,000 admissions).

 Re: Germany Box-Office Thread: Shrek Forever After #1 again
SATC2 should cross the first films gross in Germany which is great because in most of the markets it is nowhere near close to the original.

 Re: Germany Box-Office Thread: Shrek Forever After #1 again
I dunno if it'll beat it in gross. Remember, the Euro took a dive not so long ago.

 Re: Germany Box-Office Thread: Eclipse - biggest OW of 2010!
How do the opening weekend admissions for Eclipse compare to New Moon?
Do films open on Fridays in Germany, btw?

 Re: Germany Box-Office Thread: Eclipse - biggest OW of 2010!
Nope, Thursday.
Also up until not too long ago, all previews were counted towards the opening weekend, even if they were a week before the official opening. Now they are separate which makes the comparison to a year ago a little more difficult if looking at the 4-day weekend only. If you take out the previews and Twilight triple-features Eclipse had around 1 million over the weekend.
New Moon had 1,539,943 admissions last year in its opening (including all previews). However the hot weather is still hurting most movies here, so...

Excellent opening numbers for Eclipse though I am sure with those numbers it will fall very hard next weekend

Actually, the ECLIPSE opening is the best opening since November 2009 when NEW MOON opened...
