Bulgarian Box Office Update - Weekend 3 - 5 Aug

Shooting box office bullseye

As Pixar, despite bringing a pleiad of masterpieces in the past, were never that liked in Bulgaria as let's say the inferior Ice Age, it's not a great feat that their latest Brave manages to bring the best debut of the studio on these (deserted) movie shores. So, with the not so impressive, but still okay BGN 149,995, the first pure fairytale of Pixar enters at #1. 

Thus The Dark Knight Rises slips to #2, and already has BGN 423,026, which for now puts the one million threshold under a question mark. 

Of course, even the arrival of another animated movie couldn't break the stride of Ice Age 4, with the movie crossing the 2 million barrier as we speak. There, it joins an elite club of only a handful of movies such as Mission London, Ice Age 3 and Pirates Of Caribbean 4.

This week the top ten is left by Rock of Ages, with the dismal BGN 66,664. After this poor performance and the policy of the film distributors lately, don't expect any more musicals to reach the screens here. Prometheus is also out with BGN 602,765 - an excellent result for a horror/sci fi movie.

Compared to my last week's projections, Brave came somewhat higher than my BGN 110,000 forecast.

Next weekend's forecasts:

Ted - BGN 42,000, including previews

Total Recall - BGN 65,000

(1 BGN =  0.64 USD / EUR 0.51)
