So the real question we need to ask:

 

Just how fast will A:IW become the highest grossing film of all time in lc?

 

Realistically it could take weeks, there could be a limit to what the Brazilian market can absorb....That's why The Avengers 2 is still the highest-grossing movie 3 years later despite a healthy growth of this market.

 

My dream would be for this movie to be the first one to reach 200m but it's probably too big an order..At least it has strong chances to become the 1st to reach 150m (Avengers 2 = 146m).

I take it that's not $200m, because that would be mindblowing

Of course not LOL. Movies already have a hard time reaching $50m right now and $75m is the biggest we ever saw.

 

However, on the long run the country has the potential to be twice bigger than Japan as a market, or even thrice....So movies reaching $200m, $300m or even $400m could come one day or another.

10-15 years and we'll be there or close to it.

So we're looking at a probable $50m as a realistic high-end expectation then? With potential for more if Brazil goes batshit crazy

Yes, that's more or less the target.

 

The exchange rate is absolutely horrible right now, at its worst level since 2016 when it was in a terrible state...Lula being arrested has been terrible for the ER, as I expected..

When do you think the ER might recover, if at all?

PS: and this ER being so terrible just before Avengers IW being released is such a sad event, the Brazil Box Office is litterally ruined by politics and corruption, the potential is so high so I'm a bit sad...

 

But at least it doesn't affect the box office in local currency, that's why it's still very interesting to watch.

With elections coming and the potential for them to lead to a country led by a crazy I'm not very optimistic...and even with someone talented and respectable it'll take time to recover so....2020 in the best case scenario.

Good luck by the way, try to be there for Avengers IW though, it's going to be THE box office event

I really really want to, but need to hold back as much as possible. Got an exam on the Thursday and Saturday. Am going to watch it Saturday afternoon though, so that'll be good

 

As long as it breaks records Friday/Saturday/Sunday I'll be fine, it's the overseas stuff I'll miss. I'll read the emails regardless, just won't be able to contribute as much :/ 

[Durden]

The main presales website here is the ingresso.com, but is just for sales, not has how tracking the numbers.

Brazilian films suffer big drop at local box office in 2017

 

Brazilian films sold fewer tickets last year, although the total box office revenue in the country, BRL$2.7b ($844m), represented an increase of 4.7% over 2016.

For lack of a big entry, such as The Ten Commandments - The Movie, which broke the record for admissions (selling 30.1 million in 2016), Brazilian films sold 18.5 million tickets last year, indicating a fall of 38.5%.

As a result, the box office of local films dropped 28.7%, grossing BRL$252,9m ($79m), despite the number of Brazilian titles released being practically the same of the previous year: 154 features films.

“The recession that Brazil has been suffering finally reached the cinema. It stopped the lower social classes from going to the movies, mainly to see Brazilian films and mid-budget movies,” says Paulo Sergio Almeida, director of Filme B, the local theatrical tracking firm which compiled the latest figures.

According to Filme B, local productions accounted for a market share of 10% in 2017, when the general number of admissions fell. The country registered 183 million tickets sold, a drop of 1.5%, compared with 2016.

Cesar Rodrigues’ My Mom Is A Character 2, starring TV and theatre comedian Paulo Gustavo, bucked the trend, after grossing BRL$89.2m ($27.8m) last year. Adding revenue from the end of 2016, the film’s total rises to BRL$124.2m ($38.8m).

The comedy attracted an audience of 6.5 million spectators in 2017 (9.3 million in total), which was a performance far superior to the other Brazilian films listed among the most viewed. My Mom Is A Character 2 is followed in the ranking by the only three films that surpassed the one million admissions: Polícia Federal - A Lei É Para Todos (1.38 million), Os Parças (1.3 million) e DPA - Detetives do Prédio Azul (1.2 million).

BRAZIL BOX OFFICE TOP 10 OF 2017

(Figures in US dollars)

• 1. The Fate of the Furious - $41.7m
• 2. Justice League - $41m
• 3. Beauty and the Beast - $40.6m
• 4. Despicable Me 3 - $39.3m
• 5. Wonder Woman - $ 34.2m
• 6. Spider-Man: Homecoming - $32m
• 7. Thor: Ragnarok - $31.2m
• 8. Logan - $28.5m
• 9. My Mom Is A Character 2 - $27.8m
• 10. The Shack - $22.4m

AND NOW WE FINALLY HAVE THESE NUMBERS

 

With 4.7% the market still grew at a healthy pace, but it's also the slowest growth in a decade, the terrible recession hitting the country finally reached the movie market.
