Keinohrhasen is on a new year roll
Following its successful release, Til Schweiger’s Keinohrhasen [+see also:

film profile] steps into the new year in pole position.
This mass-appeal comedy, launched by Warner before Christmas, tells the story of an unscrupulous tabloid journalist who is forced to mend his ways.
The film claimed top spot at the box office in the first weekend of its release, with 400,000 admissions (according to kino-zeit), followed by The Golden Compass (also distributed by Warner); Enchanted (Walt Disney); Alvin and the Chipmunks (Fox); and French/US co-production Hitman [+see also:

Last weekend, the film directed by and starring Schweiger, who also wrote the screenplay and produced the film (with Thomas Zickler for Barefoot Films), exceeded the one million admission mark, with over 1.1m viewers in total, followed by US titles Alien vs. Predator 2 and Enchanted (distributed by Fox).
This triumph confirms the popularity of the German actor-director, whose solo directorial debut, Barefoot [+see also:
