Sequel 'Der perfekte Urlaub' Opens as Cast Uses Premiere Tour to Sell Second Chances

A multi-city premiere tour with personal cast interviews drives publicity to capitalize on the original film's box-office legacy.

Overview

  • The comedy sequel opened in German cinemas on Thursday, October 22, and completed a premiere tour that began in Munich and ended with a Berlin screening.
  • Director Bora Dağtekin reunited most of the 2019 cast for the Mallorca-shot follow-up while adding Diana Amft to the ensemble.
  • The film follows a longtime friends' holiday that devolves into chaos after a phone-based game and a fire force everyone into the same club hotel, reviving secrets and trust issues.
  • Cast promotion focused on personal stories tied to the movie's themes: Karoline Herfurth spoke about forgiveness and overcoming flight anxiety, and Frederick Lau recalled a past roller accident that led to urgent surgery after he returned to Berlin.
  • Premiere coverage mixed red-carpet moments and soundbites—including a public kiss between Frederick Lau and his wife and Florian David Fitz's joking praise of an on-screen kiss—to keep the sequel visible during its opening week and encourage box-office turnout.
