Der perfekte Urlaub Tops German Charts With Strong Opening

Strong early ticket sales show big audience interest with long-term prospects still uncertain.

Overview

  • The sequel opened on 22 October and sold about 535,000 tickets including preview screenings, debuting at number one in both Germany and Austria.
  • Bora Dagtekin wrote and directed the film, which reunites the original's ensemble led by Elyas M'Barek, Florian David Fitz and Karoline Herfurth and was produced by Constantin Film.
  • Reports describe the Mallorca-set comedy as revisiting themes of friendship, love and trust while exploring the lasting effects of the first film's phone‑game premise without revealing plot outcomes.
  • Promotional coverage calls the launch the biggest German film opening of 2026 so far, but observers say matching the 2019 original's roughly 5.3 million admissions will depend on steady audience turnout and independent box-office tallies.
  • Sustained demand could strengthen Constantin Film's franchise strategy and affect autumn programming for German comedies by encouraging exhibitors to keep screens and showtimes for the title.
