BOX OFFICE. Danish films are approaching two million tickets sold at domestic theatres in the first quarter of 2015.

14. April 2015 Redaktionen

Looking back at the first three months of 2015, Danish films have proved to be a big draw at the box office, compared to foreign fare. In total, Danish titles sold 1,850,000 tickets in the first quarter. For comparison, 3,350,000 tickets were sold for Danish films in all of 2014.

At the end of first quarter, the national market share lands at 43%, while the market share for American films equals 38% for the same period.

The most popular Danish films at the box office in 2015 have been, so far, Anders Thomas Jensen's black comedy "Men & Chicken," selling 351,000 tickets, followed by Hella Joof's comedy "All Inclusive" (release in 2014) and Niels Nørløv's family film "My Canadian Adventure – The Quest for the Lost Gold."

Equally popular among the Danes in the first three months was Susanne Bier's drama "A Second Chance," with Nikolaj Coster-Waldau and Ulrich Thomsen in the lead roles.

Men & Chicken

Anders Thomas Jensen, 2015

Gabriel and Elias are brothers, but very different from one another. Gabriel is a worn down university professor and Elias is masturbating fulltime, he is a man, whose only concern is women and trivial knowledge. During a lecture Gabriel receives a phone call telling him that their father has died.

All Inclusive

Hella Joof, 2014

The chaotic thirty-year-old Ditte and her older sister - the much too sensible Sigrid - travel to Malta with their mother, Lise, to celebrate her 60th birthday. Lise's husband, the girls' father, has just left her, and the two sisters do not exactly see eye to eye on how to cheer up their dejected mother. As the holiday progresses, it develops into an absurd love triangle with the sisters stubbornly fighting over Lise's love and attention - all in a whirlwind of a package holiday full of jealousy, family patterns, lies, disco and a dexterous bartender named Antonio.

My Canadian Adventure - The Quest for the Lost Gold

Niels Nørløv Hansen, 2015

The children find an old photo of a man with a beard and gold prospector equipment. The man turns out to be their great-grandfather, who immigrated to Canada many years ago to become a gold prospector. This excites the children and they manage to get in touch with their great-aunt Anna, who invites them to Canada for a visit.

A Second Chance

Susanne Bier, 2015

Detectives and best friends, Andreas and Simon, lead vastly different lives. Andreas has settled down with his beautiful wife and son, while Simon, recently divorced, spends most of his waking hours getting drunk at the local strip club. However, all that changes when the two of them are called out to a domestic dispute between a junkie couple, caught in a vicious cycle of violence and drugs.
