Zootopia made €1,132,472 in its Belgium opening. The only animated film to have a bigger debut is Minions, and that is a marketing juggernaut.

 

This movie is probably going to be in the top 5 of the year in Belgium's box office. I wonder how this bodes for other countries. The Danish performance wasn't remarkable.

I wonder if this will be as big a hit in France and the Netherlands as it was in Belgium.

When do we often get Wednesday estimates? I saw it yesterday and it was awesome. Would love to know how it's doing.

So now it's set the record in Belgium and France.

Weak start in Italy, 1/3 of Deadpool's Wednesday. And no holiday on the horizon.

[keysersoze123]

Bombed in korea as well.

In general, italians liked the movie! 
BTW, in 3 days 1.4 million! I guess, we'l have an opening WE of 2.1/2.2 millions. Not as good as other Classics!

I don't think the Italy numbers are bad. As per BOM, It scored the 2nd biggest Disney animation opening for Italy this decade, just behind Frozen. Altho I don't really know how movies leg out in Italy, but yeah atleast it's higher than BH6, Tangled and WiR.

 

That South Korea numbers are looking bad tho. Below BH6 and Frozen's opening.

[Omni]

Tangled, WIR and BH6 were all released before Christmas, though.

Also of note is that it doubled its previous weekend in Denmark. European releases seem to have more volatile grossing patterns.

 

Plus, new records in France and Poland! Yay!

It will bomb in Asian market. Too many references to the western culture. People there won't get some jokes. Just like inside out is totally based on a girl growing up in the Western countries, the parents moved a lot due to jobs or divorce but in most Asian countries, most families never move in their whole life. So you can't expect people there to resonate with the movie.

Even so, there's plenty of Asian fanart of this movie anyways.

Not forgetting the close proximity in release dates with Kung Fu Panda 3 which is widely popular in Asia.

Actually in Italy had a better OW than both Frozen and Big Hero 6! Here for the comparisons:

1.25M admissions in France better than expected, better than TS3 and HTTYD2
