Hi guys.. I´m from Brazil
I read the article, and I think that number (R$8,7M) is the box office for Wednesday and Thursday ( some places here, specially in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro had a holliday on Thursday).. the article sad that the number was until Thursday, and I believe the guy confused, because he said that on Wednesday we had the night views ( in fact, they were on Tuesday).. he thought that Thursday was the first day...
And convertind dollar to real, we have 1 dollar = 2,55 real
so.. R$8,7M = $3,41
I believe that on the weekend, the movie could add more $5,5M, maybe.. that would bring us $9M...
