With a healthy 63 prints in circulation, the film jumped straight to 5th place at the German box office, surrounded by American blockbusters graced with at least 250 prints. "Intimacy" is certainly making its mark, with an average of 797 spectators recorded per print released, coming in behind "Pearl Harbor" and its 1,024 spectators per print.
"Intimacy" is distributed by Prokino, which will also handle the release of "Amelie from Montmartre", slated for August 16 (German title: "Die Fabelhafte Welt der Amelie").
