Many still love their movies, particurarly old people. Edited April 20, 2012 by juni78ukr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juni78ukr Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 He, you really post interesting stuff. Could you please get a nice avatar? You honestly deserve a cool avatar... I saw some of those films with my mother in late 80-s. I was just a kid but rather accelerated for my age group and we went to movies nearly every week. I remember how everyone from my school wanted to see Flight of the Navigator somewhere in 1987 or 1988. It was probably the most popular western movie among Russian kids for some time. Don't have precise numbers though.Still I would better move to Russian box office thread. A little bit later I will try to give more numbers for past foreign hits.

juni78ukr Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Right now it is number 6 in top 250 by grades on our most popular movie site Kinopoisk. Average grade is 8.84 out of 10. People definitely love it but piracy is killing everything. It is not a big threat for a big blockbuster with world premiere but for those smaller films it could kill almost all chances for success. And our distributor apparently has no idea what to do with this film. Russian people like action fantasy, animation, comedies... Still there is a hope. I wrote two big articles and mention it every week in my world box office report. Some people will definitely go but I hardly can see any advertising. And it will be released only on 200-250 screens compared for 700-800 for Street Dance 2 and Pirates: Band of Misfits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohn Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 It won't stop in Portugal. If it continues like this it will pass the 1M here, and it is already the biggest french movie ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twinsen9 Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 (edited) Hi guys.I'm french (but I'm living in Canada), and I created un january a big topic about Intouchables in the World in Allocine.com.I love your topic too, you published great messages.But I've two words to say :1. In Europe (and Russia, and I think in America), everybody saw movies every day or week. For instance, in France :- 1938 : 452 million admissions.- 1950 : 370 million admissions.- 1962 : 292 million admissions.- 1980 : 175 million admissions.- 1992 : 116 million admissions. (awful !!!!!!)- 2011 : 215 million admissions. (really great, best admissions since 1966 !)2. Intouchables will be the best comedy in Box Office in foreign (without USA/Canada). Hangover 2 will be overcomed this week, and Forrest Gump (is it a comedy ?) in May... Edited April 21, 2012 by Twinsen9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pinocchio Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 This is getting silly. In Switzerland -- german speaking part -- Intouchables last week was number two after Battleship, but now it's number one again. After three months or so, I don't know. Seems nothing can stop this flick here.http://www.filmdistr.../top10adm.shtml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockNrollaDIM Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Very cool. So it's at about 784,000 admissions... what is the highest you can see it going?The movie seems to be at Avatar++ levels in Europe so I'm not sure if it's even possible to prognosticate anymore?

juni78ukr Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 That idiotic poster was scrapped after three of four days. People were laughing or even offended.Some of our writers call The Intouchables a real test for our market. For its adequacy and maturity.
