  1. As @Olive already mentioned, Ice Age 5's first week attracted 1,233,000 viewers in France.

    It is not a bad score, but well below expectations. By comparison, Ice Age 4 attracted 1,767,490 viewers during the first week.

    As some of you already pointed out, the reasons are:

    - Terrorist attack. I don't think it will have a much more serious impact than the one in Paris, except for Nice itself of course. It sounds strange to say, but French people somehow get "accustomed" by these tragedies now.

    - Extreme heat (35 - 40 degrees) everywhere in France.

    - Lassitude from the audience. This is I believe the main reason. Ice Age 5 doesn't appeal to people as much as before.

    Lofty expectations. I think just 1 or 2 movies make it over that per year.

    You can't expect a new franchise to beat Avengers, JW or SW7 in domestic now can you?

    I... I have really no idea ^^'. It is even hard for me to accept that Zootopia can reach $80M.

     

    But as you mentioned before, it is amazing how word of mouth can be powerful. I have this feeling that word of mouth works better in Asian countries like South Korea, Japan, China, than in Western countries, especially in Europe. My jaw literally dropped when I read that Zotoopia skyrocketed 2 weeks after its launch in Japan, considering that it started in the 2nd place. As @yjs said, they can go batshit crazy lol.

  3. Thanks a lot @Jason

    So if around 63% give 2.192.852 entries, 100% of all the theaters would "theoretically" give around 3.480.717 entries, according to my rule of three calculation (of course I can be completely wrong, I am an amateur ^^).

     

    To go a bit further, the price of a cinema ticket would be $44.592.269/3.480.717 = ~$12.8.

     

    I won't diminish the performance of Zootopia in Japan but if the number is currently around 3.5M entries, I am not really impressed.. :unsure:

    Yes I'm in France. No, a cinema in a suburb organized a Disney weekend (+Monday) with Zootopia, Frozen, Tangled and Big Hero 6 being shown, I had to seize the opportunity :D Got lucky on this one :P

     

    Good man. B)

    You didn't succumb to the temptation of the streaming! Two days ago, a downloadable HD version was (unfortunately) released online so my fellow countrymen who didn't buy the cinema ticket jumped on the opportunity to download the movie. (How irritating really :angry:). Anyway, I am glad you enjoyed it!

    @LMAbacus The movie is still showing but mainly in Paris and the suburbs. It is probably still showing in the very large cities such as Lyon but I am not 100% sure. When I think about it, Zootopia was released here on the 17th of February, that's crazy.

    If you ask me, Zootopia is the best American animated feature, full stop. Might be the best overall, but I have to consider Miyazaki.

     

    I am in the same train with you for this. There are many great animation movies I really love, such as Kung Fu Panda, Monster Inc, Tout en Haut du Monde, etc. But Zootopia was really a killer. Since I saw it at the end of January that, I think of this movie everyday! Which movie of Miyazaki did you like? My favorite is Spirited Away, a masterpiece.

     

  6. This is a great chart LMAbacus.

    Now that the billion is virtually guaranteed, I hope Disney will consider making a sequel. :wub:

    Dubbing sucks hard balls is what I'm saying. :apocalypse:

     

    I fully agree. It just strange when the lips are not sync with the voice.

    However, I found a few exceptions for animation movies. It is of course a matter of personal taste, but I found that some dubbing worked very well, even better than the original voice (Tangled & Zootopia for example).

  8. @Fullbuster Dude, even though I am quite new in this website, I have noticed that you are well in charge of the Brazilian box office. The amount of information really impress me; that's a lot of effort. Keep up the good work!

    I am big fan of Finding Nemo but I found the trailer of Dory a bit meh. Hope the movie will surprise me.

     

    By the way... who is this chick on your avatar?

  9. The superhero movies I really loved are Spider Man 1 (2002), and particularly Spider Man 2 (2004). Maybe I enjoyed these two movies because I was younger, or because there weren't toooo many superhero movies like today. Deadpool and Guardians of the Galaxy are quite good as well, I enjoyed their off-the-wall humour.

     

    Civil War is doing pretty well at the Chinese BO. It looks like it's doing even better than Zootopia when I compare the figures on Box Office Mojo.

  10. @Ent You are so right, French movies tend to be vulgar and lame nowadays. I am not even watching them anymore except if the critics are really excellent. Production companies hire famous actors and actresses in the hope to attract more people but it doesn't make a good movie if there is not a good plot.

    You aroused my curiosity, may I ask what is the name of this Finnish movie please?

    We're not superior at all, most successful local movies here in France are crappy and when a few of them manage to be fine they're not necessarily a success :ph34r:

     

    Amen to that. I will never understand how the f some of our local movies managed to be so successful like Bronzes 3 or Taxi 2. Many other movies on the other hand should have been more successful in my country or in Europe, like the masterpiece Spirited Away.

    Mainland Europe is the last bastion of folk who haven't fallen for Marvel hype. I don't get the hype either. Masterpieces these movies are not, far from it.

     

    Same for me. I watched the CW with two other friends, and we didn't really get the hype either. I suppose I am getting bored with all the super hero movies.

    Which one is that?

    Sorry for the (very) long wait of my reply... The region is called Nord-Pas-de-Calais.

     

    It is a bit old news now, but according to Box Office Mojo, Zootopia grossed +$36M, this is virtually a $5M jump from the previous weekend. I was very surprised at first but on second thought, it makes a bit sense because the admission is 4,685,653.

    Source: http://www.jpbox-office.com/fichfilm.php?id=15556&affich=france

     

    It gives an average ticket price of    $36,449,253/4,685,653 = $7.77.

     

    By the way, is the title of this thread not too old? ^^
