Disneys german movietitles and subtitles are hilariously bad most of time. 

I can understand, they want to have german sounding titles, but sometimes they just go completely crazy and Call "Thor: The dark World" "Thor: The dark kingdom"
And it just doesn't make sense, why they switched it that way.

Lol, why the fuck did they call it Zoomania in Germany?

 

That is just fucking stupid. Then again, most movie titles translated into German are fucking stupid.

Didn't realize I did not tranlate it... Well, Zoomania isn't German if I think about it - would be Zoomanie. It is pronounced English too.

But that is really a bit strange. Tomorowland was called A World Beyond in Germany

But that title was used in whole (?) Europe because of the Belgian music festival Tomorrowland.

 

I personally like the German title Zoomania more than Zootopia or Zootropils.

Why? Zootopia as a title has allegorical allusions to "Utopia".

 

Zoomania is just ridiculous.

I think Ratchet & Clank released this week in France. How is it doing? Any projections.

I don't think anyone really cares. You might have to wait until Monday to know.

As I said, this guy from cine-directors.net is a very good predictor ;). Now the prediction for TJB in its first week is 1.36M admissions. And WOM seems to be very good (according to allocine.fr → 4.4/5 from 1238 Spectateurs).

Ratchet & Clank is #11 of the charts with estimated 105.000 admissions in its first week. WOM seems to be ok but not overwhelming.

Best first Day of 2016 until now.

4th best day for a MCU film after Avengers 2, IM3 & Avengers.

10th best first day of all time for a superhero movie.

Please note how not very good the Captain America films were doing until now, note also the progression :

Captain America – First Avenger : 82 657

Captain America – The Winter Soldier : 110 798

Captain America – Civil War : 288 662

To cut a long story short, it s definitely behaving more like an Avenger movie than anything.

How about TJB? What will be this weekend's drop?

[Max]

Just to summarize a few things about Zootopie in France:

 

It is the most watched movie in 2016 in France. What a delight really, even tough it might be an ephemeral title because Civil War is growing fast here but it is still a feat. Here are the admission figures:

1. Zootopie: 4 616 285 entrées
2. Les Tuche 2: 4 598 104 entrées
3. The Revenant: 3 761 075 entrées

Source: http://www.lefigaro.fr/musique/2016/04/26/03006-20160426ARTFIG00310-box-office-france-zootopie-le-plus-gros-succes-du-debut-de-l-annee.php

 

Despite the very strong competition with Deadpool, the Revenant and to a lesser extent Divergent 3 when Zootopia came out in France, it was a big hit. It had rave reviews from French spectators (4.5/5 with +4600 ratings in Allocine.fr) and media.

 

As of 4/17, Zootopia grossed $31,147,097. I would say it might go above $32 or 33 million but sadly, more and more theaters are pulling it off, so it is hard to predict...

 

@Quigley I have no idea for the Jungle Book, sorry. :/

@cannastop Yeah, in my opinion, Ratchet & Clank was a bit a flop here, no one really cared about this movie. There were virtually no ads about it...

 

[Cynosure]

I really doubt Civil War will reach that Zootopia figure.

Were you looking forward to Ratchet & Clank? Also, what is the usual #1 admissions total, anyways?

Not really, the trailer didn't look so bad but not great either 

 

As for the usual #1 admissions total, I had a look at it on this websiste: http://www.jpbox-office.com/charts_france.php?qpage=datefr&variable=2016

It is very fluctuating so it is a bit hard to give an avergae. In some years, the 1st movie will attract more than 10 million people; in some other years, it will attract 6 or 7 million. I noticed that there is always a big difference between the 1st and 2nd place. I will probably be hard for Zootopie to retain the fist place 

 

Here are the admission figures for the 1st movie over the past 9 years:

 

2016          Zootopie                                            4 629 033

2015          Star Wars : Le Réveil de la Force       10 466 198
2014          Qu'est-ce qu'on a fait au Bon Dieu ?   12 361 430
2013          Frozen                                               5 151 855

2012          Skyfall                                                7 003 902
2011          Intouchables                                     19 490 688
2010          Harry Potter et [...] mort - partie 1       6 016 776
2009          Avatar                                              14 677 888
2008          Bienvenue chez les Ch'tis                   20 489 303 (so depressing, seriously...)

2007          Ratatouille                                          7 845 210
