Quentin Tarantino’s neo-Western The Hateful 8 opened to $3.5 million (€3.25 million) from 579 screens in Germany, good enough for the top slot. Including previews, the film took in $3.9 million in its first frame.
The opening, however, was a way’s off Tarantino’s best for the territory. The director’s last film, Django Unchained, earned around $9.8 million on its opening weekend in Germany in 2013.
