Bully’s wild empress at number one

At Schöngrün Palace, tranquil palace life is thrown into turmoil: The Yeti kidnaps Lissi to give her to the devil. Emperor Franz immediately sets off in pursuit of his great love. How it all turns out is told by Michael “Bully” Herbig in “Lissi and the Wild Emperor”. The “Sissi” parody drew more than 507,000 viewers to cinemas on its premiere weekend.

This puts the animated film directly at the top of the media control cinema charts. Alongside Herbig, Bullyparade colleagues Christian Tramnitz and Rick Kavanian handled the dubbing.

“Lissi and the Wild Emperor”, however, had a weaker start than the first two Bully films “The Shoe of Manitu” and “(T)Raumschiff Surprise – Periode 1”. More than 20 million people saw the comedies in total.

The operators of the French starred restaurant concede defeat to the royal highness. With around 456,000 guests, “Ratatouille” leaves the top position and falls to second place.

“Chuck & Larry: Like Fire and Flame” and “Stardust” also vacate their places. The firefighters willing to marry (87,000 visitors) fall to number three, but remain ahead of the fantasy film adaptation (78,000 viewers) in the race.

Just in time for the scariest night of the year, serial killer Michael Myers returns. “Halloween” stands at number five at the start (60,000 horror fans). Instead of another sequel, cinemagoers get to see a remake of the John Carpenter classic. Musician, screenwriter and director Rob Zombie gave the story his personal touch. Zombie had already directed two horror films with “House of 1000 Corpses” (2004) and “The Devil’s Rejects” (2005).
