Fullbuster Posted November 22, 2018 Author Share Posted November 22, 2018 (edited) One of the most interesting movies to predict next year will be Detective pikachu, it's the biggest franchise ever ahead of Mario Bros, Hello Kitty, Star Wars and Mickey Mouse. Brazil's gaming market is still embryonic but even there Pokemon seems pretty well known, Pokemon GO certainly helps. These tweets from one of my Brazilian followers are very interesting in that regard when it comes to the recently released Pokémon Let's Go on Nintendo Switch: Edited November 22, 2018 by Fullbuster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah. It was the same thing that happened with The Ten Commandments. The "Universal" church bought all the tickets and distributed them. Some of their staff stayed next to the theaters and offered the tickets to anyone passing by. In the end, all of the rooms were apparently sold out but there was hardly anyone watching because most people didn't use the tickets. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fullbuster Posted November 26, 2018 Author Share Posted November 26, 2018 Fantastic Beasts 2 is now the 15th biggest movie of the year in local currency (37m). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullbuster Posted November 27, 2018 Author Share Posted November 27, 2018 I wonder whether the market will grow or not this year... I mean, Avengers 3 destroyed all records, Black Panther did very well, there's this local movie, Incredibles 2 is the highest-grossing animated movie of all time...but the August-November period was very slow compared to previous years, and Aquaman will come so late that it could be insufficient to save December. I guess it'll be either a moderate growth, stagnation or a slight decrease. But I don't think we'll see 10% growth rates we saw in the past for the movie market, last year the growth was the slowest already, at 4%. 2019 will have osm any big movies that it technically should be better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullbuster Posted December 2, 2018 Author Share Posted December 2, 2018 Strong fall for Fantastic Beasts 2.1m in 1 week...$20m is officially dead. $15m-$16m at best. Even in Brazil it will be under FB1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullbuster Posted December 2, 2018 Author Share Posted December 2, 2018 The Grinch rising to $4.9m, that's Illumination's poorest performance in Brazil so far and that's the case everywhere in Latin America. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And next year they will probably release a "Part 2" of that film and the same thing will happen again. R$100 million wasted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people didn't even know that movie existed so they didn't care about what was happening. And the fact that the tickets were being distributed for free makes no one mad.

They might go with the solution for the same problem they found in some other markes (EU, US,...) = they'll sell a few stations till their market share for those specific (sport) channels will be less huge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
