German Speaking Box Office

Sensational animals are the new rulers of the German charts. The ticket to paradise flew audiences to a close second place.

Three’s the charm for Ticket to Paradise. No exciting new debut stood a chance in the top ten.

George and Julia continue to rule the box office. Despite an ‘avatar’ attack.

Paradise found. That sums up not only the brand-new number one movie but also – finally – some movement in the charts.

It’s a ‘Mini-on’ miracle: No one can quite explain how it happened, but the yellow rascals are back on top. And that is not the only rise of an “old” movie.

As the top one and two spots remained unchanged, a small drama rose up again, and anime film as well as the newest work by a renowned German director made their debut in the top ten. The young adults kept flocking to After Forever (After Ever Happy), keeping it on top of the charts.

There’s a huge shakeup but it’s not one anyone would have expected: with three new releases in the charts, two of them made in Germany, the unlikeliest one took the top spot. After Forever, which is called After Ever Happy in the original version, is the fourth part of this popular young adult romance franchise.

The longer the summer the more boring the charts. Or so it seems.

German humor rules the chart again. Jordan Peele breaks into the top ten.

Finally, some real shakeup in the charts: a German crime comedy kicked the Minions off the top spot, and a US-made action comedy debuted in third place. Germany’s number one film is Guglhupfgeschwader – to translate this funny dialectic title, one needs to explain: a Guglhupf is a bundt cake, Geschwader means squadron, but the real meaning is found in the story.
