Ice Age: Dawn Of The Dinosaurs

The Brazilian box office edged close to the Real1bn - around $550m - mark in 2009, hitting $533m (Real970m), thanks to the country’s overall economic growth, the expansion of 3D theatres and the excellent performance of Brazilian films at the local box office.

A wave of local hits, mostly comedies, garners a market share of 14.2%, the highest since 2004. Daniel Filho’s If I Were You 2 was the second highest grossing film of the year, behind Ice Age: Dawn Of The Dinosaurs. In 2008, only five films were released in 3D; this increased to 12 in 2009. The number of 3D-enabled theatres rose from 20 at the beginning of the year to 97 by December.
