German Box Office in 2004
December 25th, 2004 by Andre Soares
According to Deutsche Welle, German movie houses took in 10 percent more in box office receipts in 2004 when compared to the previous year. Peter Dinges of the German Federal Film Board (FFA) told Der Spiegel that 2004 has been the second most successful year for German films since the fall of the Berlin Wall.
During the first nine months this year, German films comprised 20.5% of the local box-office, the highest percentage since the FFA began collecting data in 1995. The year’s biggest homemade box-office hit has been Michael Herbig’s (T)raumschiff Surprise — Periode 1 (Dreamship Surprise — Period 1), a Star Trek spoof starring Herbig and Til Schweiger.
