Michael Jackson Biopic Tops Slovenian Box Office; Mandalorian Film Falters

The biographical film about Michael Jackson has reclaimed the number one spot at the Slovenian box office during its sixth weekend of release, displacing "Star Wars: The Mandalorian" and Grogu. The Jackson biopic has attracted over 53,000 viewers in Slovenia, positioning it as a spring success.

In contrast, the "Mandalorian" and Grogu film is experiencing a sharp decline in viewership, mirroring its performance globally. It is on track to potentially set an unfortunate record for the lowest earnings within the Star Wars franchise. This downturn is notable, as the film saw a considerable drop in viewers even in its second weekend, which was not a record-breaking debut.

Other films saw mixed fortunes. The horror flick "Obsession" climbed one spot, while the comedy-drama "Flee" jumped from 14th to 7th place, despite being shown on only eight screens. Newcomers struggled, with the German animated adventure "Taffiti" landing at sixth place and the British thriller "Point of Ignition" two spots lower. Two other new entries, the dark comedy-drama "Love Hurts" and the bittersweet road movie "Another Round, Let's Go," failed to break into the top ten. "Another Round, Let's Go" was shown on a single screen, explaining its 12th-place finish, while "Love Hurts," despite starring Alexander Skarsgård, only reached 17th place.

Established films like "The Devil Wears Prada 2" and "Sheep Detectives" maintained their positions, and the animated "Super Mario Bros. Movie" also held its ground, having accumulated over 33,000 viewers. However, the overall weekend was poor for cinemas, with a total of only 12,064 viewers across all films, a decrease of two thousand from the previous, already unsuccessful, weekend. This starkly contrasts with the nearly 40,000 viewers who attended cinemas just two weekends prior.
