In Finland TPM 3D has pretty much flopped. In 1999 it was the most watched movie with 439 496 viewers. Now in two weeks it has been seen by 6 936 viewers. In its first week it finished at 7th place and on second week it isn't even in the top 10. For example the latest Mission: Impossible movie had 13 928 viewers last week (from the total of 106 601, it was released 3 weeks ago) to give you some perspective.

Edit: maybe a better example would be Lion King 3D which has now been seen by over 15 000 people here. I guess 3D releases of old movies aren't that popular here, but to be fair, both were just released on BD just last year.

I assume in Finland it is subtitled? Or is it dubbed? I ask because I'm curious what sort of pricetag the film would even come with there. At about 7000 viewers with an average ticket price of $10USD or so, I don't think that would even cover the cost of the prints, let alone all the extra work done for foreign releases. Although to be fair, the film seems to be doing exceptionally poorly in Finland compared to many other European countries.

The films are subtitled. 3D prices are from 8 euros to 13 euros depending on the time, day and place. That's pretty much what I was thinnking about, too, does the revenue even cover the prints. But hey, I'm happy! Would be great if they decided not to even show the rest of the PT.

One thing also comes to mind, that they changed the age limits here this year. For some reason all the SW movies are now rated for 12-year-olds and older, I don't get that. You can still go to see them 3 years younger with your parents, but still. That's pretty much eliminating the whole crowd who would want to see TPM, LOL.

Edit: it seems that TPM was originally rated for 12 and older in 1999 so I guess they changed it back to that. They change these rating systems every ten years or so, hard to keep up with all of them. Before this year it was for 11 and older but anyways!
