Hernan Gonzalez Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 I don't buy the idea that a film would do worse just because it's mostly set in winter and released in summer. A strong movie is a strong movie. It hasn't underperformed in Brazil or South America at all, just by the time they were released there expectations were (unfairly) higher. The problem was not the theme of the movie. January in Brazil and Argentina is like August here. Some people go to the beach for free with the kids instead of paying to go to the movies. Just that. The most successful animated movies there were released before their winter holidays in July when there is nothing to do outdoor with the kids. Also the exchange rate was better last July there than now. In spite of that Frozen did pretty good in South America. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfantin65 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 The Brazilian economy is slow since 2012 so you can't expect a huge leap, and as they said before it's summer in Brazil so Frozen is a bit out of sync.

I don't see how that applies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incarnadine Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 I haven't got any numbers, but according to The Swedish Film Institute Frozen kept the top spot in attendance here (Sweden) this weekend, despite The Lego Movie and Monuments Men premiering. So, it's obviously still doing rather well (or the Lego Movie is totally tanking). Good to see it's still #1. I really want to see some numbers, especially to see how it is doing compared to Tangled.

I don't see how that applies Someone from Brazil should explain that to us It's just a theory though, I never said I was sure about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hernan Gonzalez Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Brazil is mostly in the tropics. There is no real winter. I don't see how that applies Sun sets at 5:30 PM in July, then they go to the movies In January the day is longer, there is sunlight until 8 PM. Also temperatures are around 5-10º lower in July. It's winter for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also temperatures are around 5-10º lower in July. It's winter for them. Their winters are hotter than my springs in France Hotter than many of my summers if you think about it, I remember last July, temperatures could be as low as +10°C z_z Edited February 19, 2014 by Tails Miles Prower Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Kinda like how people in LA freak out and put coats, hats, and gloves on when it gets into the 60s or 50s? A friend of mine (from Chicago) recently took a marching band tech job out there, and apparently everyone thought he was weird for wearing a t-shirt and shorts in that kind of weather. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of Brazil is equatorial. Sets at 6 all the time. 530-730 in rio not much of swing. I don't see the diff, anyway In South Beach on a 50 degree morning I was wearing a flannel and jeans. To my right was a vacationing chicagoan wearing t shirt and shorts, to my left was a cuban in a parka, hat scarf gloves boots, arms crossed and shaking. Very funny. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liam neeson's "nonstop" will also be a big hit over here. Expect frozen to do around 10.5m ish admissions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
