Mojoguy Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Funny tidbit. Hong Kong's regionalized name of Frozen is 魔雪奇緣. Interestingly enough, it's just the Chinese name of Tangled (Strange Story/Destiny of the Magical Hair) with hair replaced by ice What an awful title! Couldn't they just have called it The Snow Queen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chasmmi Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 It's called Winter Kingdom in Korea. Tangled was called Rapunzel. Cloudy WACOM was basically called 'Food that falls from the sky' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daYogi Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 In Thailand, Frozen is called " Adventure in the Snow Queen's cursed Kingdom" very long name. Rapunzel = The long haired princess Brave = The great female warrior Wreck it Ralph = Villain with a heart of a hero 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spizzer Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 What markets haven't opened yet outside of Japan? BOM still isn't reporting anything for: Central America Estonia Ghana Indonesia Latvia Lithuania Nigeria Romania Switzerland Taiwan Vietnam I'm guessing some of those have been reported but they are just not listed in BOM's breakdown, as the total of the listed markets is only 502M.

I know it's opened in Switzerland. A friend of mine lives there. I'd actually guess that some of them have reported, but BOM screwed up the title. I know that happened in Norway, where they missed the first several weeks and had it listed as a separate movie. (The total in Norway is now correct, but it doesn't have the opening weekend, for instance.) As far as I know, Japan is the only remaining territory to open in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rapunzel = The long haired princess Brave = The great female warrior Wreck it Ralph = Villain with a heart of a hero That's like the answers to "What's your Native American name?" quiz thing lol. I did that quiz on the internet once, and I got "The Handsome One Who Lives Below". I'm not sure where "below" is, but at least I'm handsome lol. What markets haven't opened yet outside of Japan? BOM still isn't reporting anything for: Indonesia I don't know why, but BOM has stopped reporting box office numbers for Indonesia since June 2013 . Frozen was released here on November 29, 2013. I did manage to find the latest update for Indonesian box office on the internet and it was August 2013. According to that, DM2 broke the record for the highest grossing animated film ever with around $6.5m. Disney/Pixar films consistently produce great box office numbers here, but there are always one non-Disney/Pixar that manage to be the biggest animation each year (except 2010, where TS3 and Tangled were #1 and #2 animated films). I really want to know how successful Frozen was, since it had amazing WOM, and was in the theaters longer than any other animated films (including DM2).

Really strange about Indonesia, it's a booming movie market with 240 million inhabitants, that doesn't make sense. I really think BOM is crumbling over the time, it's worse and worse.

The French title is appealing : La Reine des Neiges (The Snow Queen) I'm not a big fan of the original name (Frozen), it sounds "German" Edited February 12, 2014 by Sonic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catlover Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I think I like Japanese title the most, アナと雪の女王 (Anna and the Snow Queen). Not only it shows there are 2 main characters, but also it sounds exciting. Like there will be something interesting between Anna and this Snow Queen. Really strange about Indonesia, it's a booming movie market with 240 million inhabitants, that doesn't make sense. I really think BOM is crumbling over the time, it's worse and worse. Yeah, Indonesia is still a small market, but growing rapidly. Until 2009, the biggest box office for a movie was $5.2m, and since then at least 18 movies made more and the biggest one right now is $15.3m. I believe this year we will have our first $20m+ movie (TASM2 or TF4), but unfortunately we will never know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
