So... I just learned about this and I thought, maybe someone else finds it interesting as well.

The top ten movies of all time in amount of tickets sold in German theatres.

Re-releases were apparently also calculated into this and I think that is the big reason for The Jungle Book being up there, because I saw that movie in the theatre as well and I'm not close to being 54 years old.

Now Avatar is running in theatres again here right now and it's only like 200.000 tickets behind The Lion King, so it could end up in there. With Avatar being from 2009 though, the best-placed movie, which came out in Germany within the last 10 years is The Intouchables with about 9.1 million tickets sold.

The newest movie that is placed within the Top 100 is Frozen II.

It's Terence Hill and Bud Spencer... and them two were... are HUGE here.

 

[Death By Looch]

Just to underline how huge they are. Hill (with 29 movies) and Spencer (with 28) are the two actors who had the most movies in German theatres, which sold at least 1 million tickets. Sean Connery is behind them with 25 movies.

That's only about the amount of movies, which reached that mark, not total tickets sold though... but still.

I thought the Bumblebee film was a freaking great film and Hailee Steinfeld really did her thing in the film.

@Jimmy King I see you've watched X and Pearl on your movie log. Those are on my list to watch next this week. Do you think it's better to watch Pearl first? I do see the reviews for that are more positive and I believe it's meant to be the prequel?

Pearl is definitely a prequel and it wouldn’t hurt to watch that first before watching X, but it’s up to you how you want to do it.

There will be a sequel to X coming out next year called MaXXXine, which is based off of Mia Goth’s other character in X, that I’m very excited for.

Nice, I'll start with Pearl first then, I think I'm more excited for it. Yeah I heard Mia Goth is quite amazing in it. I'm excited to check these out.

X has Brittany Snow too who I'm a big fan of because of the Pitch Perfect films and whatnot. Also Jenna Ortega who was awesome in Scream.

I finally got to watching Jay and Silent Bob Reboot, pretty rough watch. I don't think I've laughed during watching it.

 

[Y2Jayne]

Fucking hell, they just don't know how to stop.

I mean, Reeves isn't a particularly great actor but that seems uncalled for

Matthew Perry Takes Aim at Keanu Reeves: Why Is Heath Ledger Dead, but Reeves ‘Still Walks Among Us?’

Perry questions why Reeves is still alive when talented actors like River Phoenix and Chris Farley had tragic deaths.
