Avengers: Doomsday takes Italy lead with an FDI of 23.1

God Laughs led last weekend with Unlock tickets and holds second place in demand.

  • Avengers: Doomsday rose 21.9 points in a week.
  • God Laughs sold Unlock tickets during the measured period.
  • Se domani non torno has Unlock advance tickets before opening tomorrow.

Avengers: Doomsday vaulted from nineteenth to first place in Italy, turning advance demand into the week’s defining story. Joe Russo and Anthony Russo’s science fiction action adventure, from the directors of Avengers: Endgame and Avengers: Infinity War, has an FDI of 23.1 after rising 21.9 points in a week. It passed former leader Je so’ pazzo, Sense and Sensibility and Clayface, and has Unlock advance tickets for its December 16 release.

The SEATmio Film Demand Index (FDI) is a film’s percentage share of all tickets SEATmio tracks in Italy, combining the last 7 days of screenings with advance tickets for future screenings. God Laughs is second with an FDI of 11.3, sold Unlock tickets during the period and carries Unlock advance tickets. Ticket counts are rounded SEATmio estimates.

Local films give the market its main counterweight to the Marvel title. Giovanni Veronesi’s comedy-drama God Laughs, from the director of The Ages of Love and Manual of Love 2, stars Pierfrancesco Favino and Silvio Orlando in a story about a 17th-century friar whose message challenges Rome. Massimiliano Bruno’s comedy Un tranquillo funerale di famiglia is third with an FDI of 7.4 after rising 7.2 points, while Je so’ pazzo fell from first to ninth as it lost 9.5 points.

Behind them, the holdovers are ceding ground to newer arrivals and advance sellers. James Watkins’ Clayface, a horror-thriller starring Tom Rhys Harries and Naomi Ackie, slipped from third to fourth and fell 6.0 points. Sense and Sensibility moved from second to fifth after falling 6.9 points, while Shaun the Sheep: The Beast of Mossy Bottom jumped from twenty-fifth to sixth, overtaking The Spiral and Wildwood among others as it rose 3.2 points.

Last weekend, God Laughs sold the most tickets, with Unlock from October 30 to November 1. Un tranquillo funerale di famiglia opened in second place on Unlock, while Shaun the Sheep: The Beast of Mossy Bottom opened in third on Unlock. Clayface was fourth with Unlock and fell 35% from the previous weekend, and Ice Cream Man opened with Unlock.

The next wave starts immediately with another Italian production. Se domani non torno, Paola Randi’s drama about Giulia Cecchettin, opens November 5 with an FDI of 1.4 and Unlock advance tickets. The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping follows on November 19 with Unlock advance tickets and an FDI of 0.9, while Stray Kids World Tour 'RUN IT' LIVE VIEWING has Unlock advance tickets ahead of November 7.
