How Could I Live Without You? 2 leads Hungary with an FDI of 12.9

Wildwood was the week’s fastest climber, rising 3.8 points and moving from twenty-ninth to fifth place.

  • The Heritage slipped to second place after falling 3.1 points.
  • Wildwood climbed from twenty-ninth to fifth on a 3.8-point rise.
  • Rammstein – Live in Mexico City rose 2.0 points this week.

How Could I Live Without You? 2 has moved to the front of Hungary’s film-demand race before release, giving a local production the market’s highest score on November 4. Zsombor Dyga’s music-comedy romance, from the director of uno, has an FDI of 12.9 and opens November 12 with Unlock advance tickets. The SEATmio Film Demand Index (FDI) is a film’s percentage share of all tickets SEATmio tracks in Hungary, including tickets for the last 7 days of screenings and advance tickets for future screenings.

That puts How Could I Live Without You? 2 ahead of The Heritage, which led a week ago but has slipped to second place with an FDI of 10.5. István Tasnádi’s thriller, from the director of Memo and In Another Life, sold Unlock tickets in the last 7 days and has Unlock advance tickets. Its score fell 3.1 points over the week, leaving the picture still strong but no longer the title setting the pace.

Verity also lost ground, falling from second to third as its FDI dropped 3.4 points to 6.5. Michael Showalter’s mystery thriller stars Dakota Johnson, Anne Hathaway and Josh Hartnett in the story of a ghostwriter drawn into the secrets of an author’s notes. It sold Unlock tickets in the last 7 days, ahead of Heart of the Beast’s Unlock but behind The Heritage’s Unlock.

The middle of the chart is where the race changed most sharply. Heart of the Beast climbed from sixth to fourth, overtaking Forgotten Island, Clayface and Még egy kívánság even as its FDI fell 1.3 points to 4.6. Wildwood made the biggest move, rising from twenty-ninth to fifth with an FDI of 4.3 after a 3.8-point gain; Travis Knight’s animated fantasy, from the director of Kubo and the Two Strings and Bumblebee, follows children drawn into a magical forest to rescue a baby brother.

Hungarian films are doing more than occupying the top line. The Heritage remains second, while Még egy kívánság, the local comedy-romance fantasy from Kata Dobó and Fanni Szilágyi, sits seventh with an FDI of 3.3 after selling Unlock tickets in the last 7 days. Extázis Uncut is fifteenth with an FDI of 1.6, and Mommy Blue is twenty-seventh with an FDI of 0.9.

Last weekend, from October 30 to November 1, Az örökség sold the most tickets with Unlock, according to rounded SEATmio estimates. Verity followed with Unlock after falling 45% from the previous weekend, while Heart of the Beast took Unlock after falling 40%. Wildwood was the notable new opener, landing fifth for the weekend with Unlock tickets.

The next wave is already visible in advance sales. Stray Kids World Tour 'RUN IT' LIVE VIEWING opens November 7 with an FDI of 1.8 and Unlock advance tickets, while You Can See Everything opens November 6 with an FDI of 1.1 and Unlock advance tickets. George Michael: The Faith Tour and Sense and Sensibility both open November 5, but neither is close to the demand already built by How Could I Live Without You? 2.
