Movie premieres in cinemas:
In the year 2001, the German comedy film "The Boot of Manitu" (original title: "Der Schuh des Manitu") created a stir in cinemas, setting a record for cinema attendance. The film, starring Sky du Mont, was a massive success, attracting nearly 12 million people to theatres [1].
The film's success earned it several prestigious awards, including the Bambi and the German Comedy Award in 2001 [2]. The movie's record-breaking attendance still stands (for now) [1].
Fast forward to 2025, and the sequel to this beloved Western parody, "Der Schuh des Manitu 2," has been released. The much-anticipated film hit theatres this August [2].
Meanwhile, another sequel, "The Canoe of Manitu," is set to start in cinemas, although its release date is not specified. The runtime for "The Canoe of Manitu" is 1 hour and 34 minutes [1].
Interestingly, the rights for "The Canoe of Manitu" are held by MIDDLE GERMAN BROADCASTING [1].
The Thueringen Journal, published on August 14, 2025, reported these developments [2]. The video link for "The Canoe of Manitu" is available for those eager to catch a glimpse before heading to the theatres.
As we eagerly await the release of "The Canoe of Manitu," let's remember the record-breaking success of its predecessor, "The Boot of Manitu," which continues to be a cherished piece of German cinema history.
