Kokowääh scales box office heights in first weekend
As could be expected, the new comedy by and starring Til Schweiger, Kokowääh [+see also:

film profile] – launched last Thursday by Warner (see news) in Germany (and Austria) – has got off to a flying box office start, attracting almost 840,000 German viewers in its first weekend. Or three times that of Black Swan on its release and similar to Schweiger’s previous title, Rabbit Without Ears 2 [+see also:

film profile], which garnered about 864,000 admissions when it hit screens in December 2009.
Kokowääh shot to first place in the rankings for this weekend, ahead of its rival Black Swan (around 250,000 admissions, just over 1m in total, according to kino.de) and TRON: Legacy (around 200,000 admissions for a total of over 630,000). The German comedy will soon top the rankings for the start of the year.
