Slowly but surely we are approaching the Germany release date for both German language and English O.V versions of Prometheus. After Germany, there will only be a handful of countries not to have released Prometheus yet. Germany is, for the moment at least, one of the few EU countries which has lower unemployment, so it will be interesting to see how much/little the Germany release affects total box office sales for the movie.
There doesn't seem to be much of a hype for the movie in Germany at the moment though. Whoever the genius media mogul was to decide to put the release date bang in the middle of August vacation season, it will be interesting to see whether the movie launches with a bang, or a whimper. Speaking to colleagues German and non-German alike, most people who are interested in the movie have either:
- seen the movie in another country already
- will have seen the movie in another country (vacation) by the time the movie releases in Germany in a few weeks
- some of the above (including me) will see the movie for a second time in Germany though, so maybe re-visits to the cinema might help the box office ticket sales.
Anyway, with just over 4 weeks to go until Germany release, let the countdown begin. More ticket sales hopfefully means the closer we are to a sequel becoming reality.
PS If anyone knows of hyperlinks to Germany box office ticket sales, pls include.
