Zootopia's been pretty big in Portugal from what I can tell.

Not because of their "amazing" marketing campaign, that is for sure  It was big despite of being sabotaged by that stupid dumb marketing team, not because of a good marketing campaign. The Jungle Book and Marvel movies couldn't do that. Me and my friend always go back to Easter 2014 when Divergent made Winter Soldier his bitch. Winter Soldier had a brutal decrease from the first movie here.

Hopefully someday a random suit looks at the OS markets and sees the ass shit results their movies make here most of the time and say "WTF?! Someone change the distributor of our movies here NOW" because we definitely need that. The marketing team of Disney Portugal has no clue how to sell anything. The Jungle Book bombed and Marvel movies here were never huge. BvS was easily bigger than any of them. 

 

What does it feel like to live in box office Bizarro World?

They simply need a good marketing team handling their movies. When WB, Paramount, Universal, FOX and Sony all have top notch marketing teams and Disney has people sabotaging their releases it is kinda hard.

If Divergent is what fancies Portugal then Disney may have the right idea in not caring.

London Has Fallen was bigger here than any Marvel movie without Avengers in the title ffs. Just fucking ABSURD.

Considering that the Disney Channel is one of the top rated cable channels, hardly . Basically, it's just that the Disney marketing team couldn't sell a movie to an adult (not kiddie) audience even if their lives depended on it.

Marvel movies were big here before moving to Disney. The problem is Disney Portugal, not the country. The First Avenger sold 180000 tickets here. Winter Soldier sold only 125000 tickets thanks to a god awful marketing campaign.

The Jungle Book bombed buddy. That team has no clue how to sell a movie. All of them have bad marketing campaigns.

Blame Portugal, blame Portugal
It seems that everything's gone wrong
Since Portugal came along

Blame Portugal, blame Portugal
They're not even a real country anyway

How big were the crowds when you saw CW and JB?

The Jungle Book had like 30 people on a Thursday night. It bombed with the adult crowd and it wasn't anything big with families.

 

Civil War was sold out but it was a Saturday night so not selling out would be a major red alert.

30 people for a weekday sounds decent but it depends on how big your area is. Another question: how crowded are subtitles compared to dubs?

I actually missed that part in your post. WAIT, WHAT?!! TJB BOMBED? They couldn't sell the fucking Jungle Book to kids?

 

I can't believe it. We're the country w/the most failed admissions of one of our films into the Best Foreign Picture Oscar category ever by far (32 failed attempts); fucking MINIONS is our #2 film ever at the BO (Avatar being #1); Mamma Mia, The Da Vinci Code and Shrek 3 are all in our top 10 ever at the BO too; Divergent, Transporter and Hitman are big hits while Marvel movies and The Jungle Book are either meh hits or straight up bombs; our own films are either the worst fucking remakes ever or they're wannabe artsy Terrence Malick-like borefests... Portugal sucks for movies. And this is coming from someone who wants to get a degree in Cinema. I hope to God that either I can make movies great again around here... or I'll just pack my ass to Canada, because I can't go live to the US, too many shootings there 

[HeyItsMoses]

So, looking at the top domestic numbers for this year, who would've fuckin guessed that Deadpool, Zootopia, and The Jungle Book, would outgross BvS? 

 

This is just fuckin hilarious.

Dubs did good with the families during the weekends. The subtitle version was only available at night for adults and it bombed. The Jungle Book will end with half of Maleficent and Cinderella here and just above the other Disney fairytale bomb Oz The Great and Powerful. Btw, neither Maleficent or Oz had dubbed versions. 

 

It was in the 3rd biggest theater in the country. On the same night The Huntsman sold 210 tickets (100 for 4DX and another 110 for 2D).
