Current admissions total in Germany is 7,088,608. That makes it the first movie since Avatar to pass 7 million admissions in Germany.

Among the biggest movies in Germany since 1968 Intouchables ranks as #37 admissions-wise. That puts it ahead of:

The last three Harry Potter films
Home Alone
Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl
Madagascar
All Pixar films (except for Finding Nemo)
The Da Vinci Code


By the end of the next weekend, it will probably be at #33, having passed Dead Man's Chest and Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.

It will take a long long time, but it could break into the Top 25. I expect it to play in many theatres until fall and make a killing in open air screenings if the weather plays along this summer.

Look at our poster. What kind of idiot could have made it?

That's really a strange poster - that lady doesn't belong to the movie and the white guy can't move his fingers...

No offense but from the outside it looks like a movie about two gays. People already say that.

It's now at $301,600,000.

Its chances to pass $400 million worldwide are quite solid now.

I hope it will get over 150,000 admissions this weekend in Germany. That'd be so terrific. I am stil sticking with my 8.5+ million admissions projection.

I wonder why BoM is ignoring dutch grosses. Screendaily said it increased by 35% on 2nd weekend with nearly 90,000 admissions by now.

Germany:
1st weekend: 295,661 admissions - 328,742 total
2nd weekend: 478,727 admissions (+62 %) - 921,117 total
3rd weekend: 622,924 admissions (+30 %) - 1,751,546 total
4th weekend: 622,433 admissions (-0 %) - 2,631,006 total
5th weekend: 566.862 admissions (-9 %) - 3,458,472 total
6th weekend: 478,577 admissions (-16 %) - 4,133,130 total
7th weekend: 494,236 admissions (+3 %) - 4,831,067 total
8th weekend: 471,387 admissions (-5 %) - 5,533,509 total
9th weekend:343,805 admissions (-27 %) - 6,041,746 total
10th weekend: 340,380 admissions (-1 %) - 6,502,925 total
11th weekend: 242,367 admissions (-29 %) - 6,866,308 total
12th weekend: 135,898 admissions (-44 %) - 7,088,608 total
13th weekend: 149,816 admissions (+10 %) - 7,280,616 total
14th weekend: 150,000 admissions - Estimate based on Thursday sales

It has a chance to stay in the Top 10 until mid-May or so. I wonder how many more 100,000+ admissions weekends it can deliver. I am not projecting it yet, but if the weather plays along then I wouldn't even rule out 9 million admissions.

Why is movie sooo popular??!

It is very very good and very very accessible.

America is excited to add a whopping 7 mil. to its worldwide gross.

You are very optimistic.

I actually think $10+ million isn't impossible for it. I could easily see a Dragon Tattoo-esque run for it if WOM is similarly strong as it's been elsewhere

US trailer:



Very smart and effective trailer. If the Weinsteins don't bury it (Not impossible, as they own the remake rights...) I really think an art house run similar to Dragon Tattoo, Once or The Visitor is possible.

Wow. I loved the trailer, I really want to see it....but I highly doubt it will be released here

Apparently it is looking at a very sizable increase this weekend in Germany, targeting 190,000 admissions.

Should pass 8 million admissions before the end of April.

So for the American remake do they cast Djimon Hounsou and Robert De Niro?

I think Djimon Hounsou is too old now, turning 48 this year. Maybe Derek Luke or Anthony Mackie...

The fun part is: This beats the 14th weekend in France (102,849) by 85 %

It is finally beating an Avatar weekend and should stay ahead of it from now on.

If his head was totally shaved, or hair was dyed, you would never guess he was that old.

Chiwetel Ejiofor? Idris Elba?

I uploaded the table. See if you can spot anything missing. I couldn't find any admissions total for Netherlands.

By the way, it increased in Taiwan in its 2nd weekend by more than 100%. $73,515 2nd weekend (+108.4%)
