ALTER WEISSER MANN storms to 1st place in the cinema charts

Impressive box office debut for the German comedy

Film starts with 230,000 viewers

ALTER WEISSER MANN (OLD WHITE MAN) is the surprise winner at the German box office. The comedy by director Michael Bully Herbig (54) sold around 230,000 tickets in the first weekend after 741 copies started, as reported by Media Control.

ALTER WEISSER MANN thus relegated the Marvel blockbuster BLACK PANTHER: WAKANDA FOREVER (178,000 viewers) to second place in Germany after four weeks at the top of the charts.

In ALTER WEISSER MANN, Bully plays an elderly German who gets involved in a culture clash after winning 30 million euros in the lottery and moving into a villa in Berlin's well-heeled Grunewald district.

The film, which also stars comedians Christoph Maria Herbst (56) and Rick Kavanian (52), has been a box office success in Germany, with over 1 million viewers to date.
