Portugal is an extremely small market within the gigantic world of global cinema. Still, it is always interesting to know which projects were successful in our cinemas, whether these are great cinematographic works with budgets of many millions, or films that are a little simpler, but with no less magic.
These were the most watched films at Cinema in Portugal!

Therefore, to get an idea of how things went in 2023, we have two Top 10 tables, one with international films, and the other with national films. Who dominated Portuguese cinemas? Well, the entire international top 10 beats even the most popular national films, which is honestly a shame, given that Sunset: The Mystery of the Necklace of São Cajó was one of the best things to come across these two eyes. in 2023.
Forgetting this detail that is very important to me… After all, if we want more quality Portuguese films, we obviously have to support their development. The film that most dominated Portuguese theaters was obviously Barbie, followed by Fast X and Oppenheimer.
I’m happy not to see Fast X in the Top 1, but at the same time I’m sad that a film purely based on marketing has gained the market in Portugal, and beyond. It is undeniable that Oppenheimer is a much more interesting and even much more important film compared to Barbie.
Having said all that, what do you think of your tables? Is it as expected? How many of these films did you go to see in cinemas? Share your opinion with us in the comments box below.
