Almost 1.38 million people went to see Nightlife, making it the most successful German film of 2020. It was followed by Die Känguru-Chroniken and Jim Knopf und die Wilde 13.
Book to film
Jim Knopf und die Wilde 13 is based on a popular series of children's books written by German author Michael Ende, who also wrote The Neverending Story. Bringing the conversation back to movies, currently there are over 1,700 cinemas in Germany. These house a total of 4,961 screens.
Falling admissions
Admissions in German cinemas dropped in recent years. This may be due to various reasons, such as the rise and spread of video streaming services, as well as cinema tickets becoming more and more expensive, going from an average of 6 euros in 2008 to 8.63 euros per ticket in 2019.
