CJohn Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Yes, it was, but in France it was hated because Astérix et Obélix Mission Cleopatre (Astérix 2) crushed this one about its quality.Astérix 2 : 14m admissionsAstérix 3 : 6.6m admissionsAnd Astérix 4 could have less admissions than Astérix 3, can you see the fall? Astérix in France it's like Batman in the US, a very powerful cultural symbol.That is a huge drop I can't believe Astérix 4 will sell even less tickets!

SchumacherFTW Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Maybe the arrival of Tintin made Asterix redundant? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullbuster Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Maybe the arrival of Tintin made Asterix redundant? No, it's just the very bad quality of Astérix 3.Allociné, the largest movie website in France, viewers rated it 1.2 out of 5, it's terribly low. By the way, the OPENING DAY FRANCE is worst : ASTERIX & OBELIX AU SERVICE DE SA MAJESTE 120,856 admissions Look at now the Opening Day of the former Astérix movies : ASTERIX ET OBELIX 2 : MISSION CLEOPATRE 629 148 admissions ASTERIX 3 : AUX JEUX OLYMPIQUES 464 248 admissions ASTERIX ET OBELIX : CONTRE CESAR 446 724 admissions This Astérix will end lower than The Avengers !

Fullbuster Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 so cine-directors over-predicted.We can't blame them, such a drop couldn't be predicted because it's really the most famous French franchise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudolf Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 I don't know, in Europe people will think about Skyfall. the main main fear of Vitalstatistix(Abraracourcix), that the sky may fall on his head tomorrow 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohn Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 It is also bombing in Portugal. Astérix in the Olyimpic Games sold over 420,000 tickets here. This one will be lucky to sell 175,000 in total (the number Olympic Games made in the first 7 days here!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
