The animated Jungle Book was a record-breaking smash in France, both in 1968 and during its re-releases. 

 

Copying this from the other thread: 

 

It initial 1967 release (1968 in France) places it at #9 on the list of all-time highest ticket sellers in France https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_of_highest-grossing_films_in_France

 

Subsequent re-releases take it much higher. 

 

1968: 14.7M tickets sold https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Box-office_France_1968 

 

1979: 5.5M tickets sold (re-release) https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Box-office_France_1979

 

1988: 2M tickets sold (re-release) https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Box-office_France_1988

 

1993: 2.3M tickets sold (re-release) https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Box-office_France_1993

I think the 1968 figure is the total cume counting every release. If those figures were true, The Jungle Book would be the most attended film ever, and that is not true.

Anyway, Jungle Book was gigantic not only in France, but in many European countries.

The beat of this drum is strong. Disney's THE JUNGLE BOOK debuted with $28.9M in ltd int'l release--nearly 2x stronger than CINDERELLA.

Already rumours in the industry of another $750M+ WW movie for Disney.

 

I heard words like "Avatar-like" when it comes to the special fx. It is very possible.

[alestevens]

I have a feeling that this will go all the way to become a $1 Billion grossing film!

Amazing start of the year for Disney! 3 possible $1B+ films released before June 

[Dingdong123]

Let's slow things down a bit guys. This is performing strong in a lot of markets, but still too early to tell if 1B is happening.

[TimmyRiggins]

The film is a massive crowdpleaser, 1 billion could happen. WOM will be insane.

Pretty bold, but a little birdy told me that this isn't that big in France.

 

Not sure what that means, but there.

[DisneyHVItalia]

No news from France? Today the movie opens in Italy and Germany. Usually Disney live actions go pretty well in Italy, and in Germany the original classic was HUGE!

Basically, the biggest film ever in Germany.

Who cares, it's one market. You'll see. Look at the performance in India already, the WOM over there.

India is also one market.

Yeah and it's even a smaller market than France so I really don't get how @TimmyRiggins can imply that it somehow matters less.

[TimmyRiggins]

Look, it's doing very well already in a very limited amount of territories, India being the biggest one so far, its performance over there is very impressive already and I have no doubt will be indicative of what is to come. 

 

We see that live action Disney films don't perform very well in France, so that's that. (and just when I say this, I see the predictions have gone WAY up from yday, good news)
