>The R-rated comedy, which flopped in North America, has earned more in Germany than any other foreign market. It's no wonder why Dwayne Johnson has personally thanked German moviegoers via Instagram.
>Baywatch, Johnson's summer comedy, is riding a tidal wave of popularity in Germany, earning a huge $16 million to date, one of the best showings ever for an R-rated Hollywood comedy. And it's by far the best showing of any foreign market (the next closest is the U.K. with north of $12 million).
>Overall, Paramount's film adaptation of the classic bikini-and-surf TV show swam past the $100 million mark at the international box office over the weekend even while getting dunked stateside with $57.6 million to date.
>The secret to the movie's success at the German box office? The television show Baywatch was incredibly popular, while TV series star David Hasselhoff — who makes a brief appearance in the movie — is also a brand name there because of his singing career.
>In Germany, Baywatch ranks among the top 10 grossing films of 2017 so far, handily out-grossing the likes of Transformers: The Last Knight ($12.3 million), Wonder Woman ($7.9 million) and The Mummy ($7.5 million). The only two summer tentpoles that have done more business are Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 with roughly $30 million and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales with north of $28 million.
it really was a litty lil R-rated raunch fest wasn't it guys
Carson Foster
germans like digging holes at the beach, that's the only reason they watched it
Owen Collins
What are some other lil rauchy #litty films?
Logan Reyes
Hasselhoff and baywatch were huge in germany back in the day. makes sense for it to do well there.
Benjamin Allen
I don't understand why they made it into a comedy. The original series was more along the lines of hawaii five o. It kind of killed my interest because zach efron just fucking sucks at comedy no matter how hard he tries to make that his main genre.
Juan Allen
Baywatch Nights reboot when?
Matthew Peterson
Germans loving Hasselhoff so much is so fucking weird Apparently the current number one flick at the German box office is about a German family adopting a black migrant and the white daughter falls in love with a Muslim How can the same people who gave us uncle Adolf, as well as some of the finest artists ever also be such complete cucks and tasteless plebs
Jason Brooks
I wanna see this lil beach raunch romp
Logan Price
I'm so sorry.
Alexander Ross
but isnt it haram
Grayson Reyes
Maybe the german synchronization made it better. There are quite a couple of examples where the german dub shits on the original.

Can someone please explain what 'litty' means? I've gone into so many of these threads hoping I'd pick it up - but I haven't.
Brandon Watson
These days all German voice actors do the same bland shit for every single character. I genuinely have trouble keeping people apart by voice when I'm forced to watch the German dub of a movie because they all sound the same.
Grayson Phillips
lit -> hype, fun, exciting, etc
Ian Foster
Sorry, I meant where does it come from. Like, did the Rock actually say that, or was it just made up on Sup Forums (Like 'Caspere knew this')?
Joshua Williams

Jeremiah Rivera
>The Puberteer
Is this German capeshit?
Kevin Young
crazy sauce.
Connor Sanchez
I said 'apparently' because I wasn't sure, it was released this summer for international audiences but in 2016 for Germany, where it was the number one German film of the year.
Nah, its a shitty play on words and translates to something like 'The Pubertanimal' (Pubertieren->the verb for of puberty/pubescence , Tier -> Animal)
And the movie is about as good as the pun, if the cast lineup is any indication...
Landon Sanders
>dubfags
Why are germans such tasteless fucks
Julian Collins
shitty coming-of.age flick
Kayden Robinson
Why the fuck does he say "lil'" so much?
Isaac Russell

litty is not happening OP.
Camden Diaz
>1.6mil views on yet another fucking Baywatch shilling post thanking some country where it went well Y'know, while he's been pathetic about it from day one, he probably has managed to put a few $millions' worth of asses in chairs with his bitching, just desperately mashing it into the faces of his social media followers over and over until they go out of guilt or pity. If an actor built a reputation for this kind of commitment to shilling for all of their roles, not just ones they produced, they'd probably become one of Hollywood's favorite hires on good goy points alone.
Alexander Perez
Was recently in Munich, 3/4 people are Muslim.

they're not weird, they just love the HOFF. germany is the only country that released the enitre baywatch series on DVD (yes, usa has not released the entire show on dvd, germany did. makes sense, right?
