Apart from superheroes if there's something Brazilians particularly love it's really horror movies, even if it's inflated that's not surprising to see The Nun doing well

For now the ER is stable, at 4.06 but it doesn't take Lula's non-candidacy into account given trading wasn't happening this weekend. Oh and other consequences of economic hardships during the night:

I've been busy lately but I don't forget the thread. I'm watching...Lula not being allowed to be a candidate because he's in jail is an interesting development, to say the least..

While I don't watch movies based on RT, just my guts, I still think it's a good idea to have a more diverse pool of reviewers who are more representative of our digital era.

There's a telling about Brazil, it's "Always the Country of the Future" in a sense Brazil always disappoints and never reach its potential, so it's always "a great future ahead" but never a great present. In a sense it's pretty true.. This article from the New York Times in 1995 tells everything in a fantastic way, even 23 years after it sounds like it was written today! https://www.nytimes.com/1995/07/23/books/always-the-country-of-the-future.html Brazil has a special resonance for American visitors. Both countries are continental in size and attitude, both were slave societies, both are immigrant nations and both celebrate their frontier origins while suffering from an absence of historical memory. But where self-absorption in the United States leads to superpatriotism, navel-gazing in Brazil ends in disillusionment. Brazilians tend to such distrust of their own national ability that they accept as fact the oft-related story that Charles de Gaulle once stated disdainfully, "Brazil is not a serious country." As Mr. Page points out, de Gaulle never uttered the phrase, yet there is something so perversely self-doubting in the Brazilian spirit that it perpetuates the fiction.

And when you see The Incredibles 2 it's clear it could also be a new huge market for Disney/Pixar animated movies in the future Let's just hope this future is not too far away...

The exchange rate issue is really frustrating, when I think Infinity War would be around $120m with a "normal" exchange rate it's heartbreaking for someone who love to follow the box office, such wasted potential. And Brazil's problems are likely to last for many years so I don't know how much time the box office is gonna be held back...

OMG 4.05! I didn't check in a while but that's absolutely atrocious, it's now the worst level of the century along with December 2015/January 2016! That's ridiculous

Number 3 is reachable, N°2 will be harder.

How important Brazil is for Hollywood movies (in USD)?

This poor thread, time to take the matters into my own hands

Yep, Brazil being a huge market for comicbook movies it's important to have it the same week than the US to help the global OW to be as big as possible!
