When Brazil's 2012 receipts were tallied, local Brazilian film distributor Paris Filmes landed on top with the biggest piece of the year by selling 18.7 percent of all ticket sales -- the first time in 20 years that a Brazilian company has wound up on top. Paris Filmes, a partner of RioFilme and DownTown, released only one local film that hit the Top Ten, the comedy Até que a Sorte Nos Separe, which sold 3.3 million tickets domestically, but was also responsible for six other Hollywood productions that ranked among the year's biggest, including The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part II. Said Paris Filmes General Director Marcio Fraccaroli, "We aren't ashamed of our decision to make commercial movies." Claiming the second spot was Paramount/Universal, who racked up 14.9 percent of all Brazilian ticket sales.
