In comparison, the one million mark wasn't passed until week 24 in 2010 and week 25 in 2009. Danish film hasn't experienced similar success on the home front since 2007 where total ticket sales reached one million in week 9.
One million admissions to Danish films
Primarily it's the comedies that have reeled the audiences in. A great part of the success can be attributed to "Clown" which has sold 373,000 tickets in 2011. "All for One" has also done well with 338,000 tickets since the premiere in February. And Ole Christian Madsen's new divorce comedy "Superclásico" is number one again this weekend with 77,000 tickets.
