Overview

  • Constantin Film said the milestone was reached Tuesday evening, about two weeks after the August 14 opening.
  • The second weekend added roughly 760,000 tickets, including about 240,000 on Saturday, the film’s highest single-day turnout since launch.
  • The comedy sold about 800,000 tickets in its first four days, a rare opening pace for a German production in recent years.
  • The sequel reunites Michael Bully Herbig with Christian Tramitz, Rick Kavanian and Sky du Mont, continuing the 2001 hit’s characters.
  • Small exhibitors such as the 76-seat Foolskino in Holzkirchen report sold-out shows and say mainstream comedies are vital for their bottom line.
