Garfield beats Superman...

Galactus · 09-09-2006, 06:17 AM

... well, in Sweden at least. So far that fat cat has brought in $1,9 million in Sweden compared to $1,6 million for Superman. Shocking? Not really. Superheroes have never been big business in Sweden. And Superman hasn't been published here since the 80's, while a lot of newspapers publishes Garfield-comic strips daily. Ask a five or six-year old kid in Sweden who Superman is, he/she probably won't have a clue.

But the Pirates have been dominating here too: $12,8 million so far. Almost ten times as much as Superman in other words.

I am right in thinking the Phantom is a very popular character in Sweden?

Yeah, he's actually very popular (at least compared to everything Marvel and DC have created)

deathshead2 · 09-09-2006, 11:56 AM

They should do another Phantom movie then.

Kmack · 09-09-2006, 11:57 AM

Say it ain't so

JackBauer · 09-09-2006, 05:57 PM

ugh, I've lost my faith in humanity.

Bat Attack · 09-09-2006, 06:11 PM

Sweden, isn't that where Conan O'Brien is really popular also?

tzarinna · 09-09-2006, 06:20 PM

Wow that's pretty sad

Rac · 09-09-2006, 06:57 PM

I don't know the numbers but I have the feeling that Garfield beat Superman in Finland too...

matrix_ghost · 09-09-2006, 07:02 PM

Shouldn't this actually go into the Superman Returns boards

?
And yeah , you know it's bad when Garfield beats Supes.

At least it't not as bad as Kriish pummeling Supes in INDIA
ROFL

xwolverine2 · 09-09-2006, 07:20 PM

I did ask the mods if this topic belonged either here or in the supes forums , but the reply was that this is about Garfield's BO , not Supes. So it should just stick here.
Phew ,that just saved me a bunch of hater posts

bwahahaha

terry78 · 09-10-2006, 10:20 AM

I'm waiting for someone to say, who cares about Sweden? Everytime a country is reported doing something we don't like, we always say that.

matrix_ghost · 09-10-2006, 10:24 AM

Who cares about sweden

Seriously tough, i didn't expect Garfield to perform that well.....

I know alot of people here in Holland who read Garfield ( not just kids , mostly adults) and they all hate garfield the movie and it' sequel with a passion.
I do too , but then again i find Bill Murray incredibly annoying and vastly overrated.

I don't know. I suppose most people here just thinks that superheroes with weird powers in strange costumes is a silly and stupid thing. As for Garfield's success... well Sweden has always been a strong market for movies aimed at kids. The biggest success of all time is The Jungle Book...

Milkman95 · 09-10-2006, 12:50 PM

Looks like Sweden is full of clueless people.

matrix_ghost · 09-10-2006, 12:53 PM

Hey SWEDEN has 6 ft HOT BLONDES DAMMIT.
IN NO WAY ARE THEY CLUELESS
