So, like, did Phil never attempt to stay up all night or anything? I can't remember if that was ever explained.

In Spain the movie is officialy called "Atrapado en el tiempo" (Trapped in time), but the majority of people still call the movie the name El Dia de la Marmota (The Groundhog Day). Strange fuck up by the translators that thought the new spanish name for the movie would work better for marketing that translating the original english name as it is.

Just like you said: this is to increase interest in the audience. It's not a fuck up at all, it's a marketing strategy.

Remember what Rosemary's Baby title was in Spain when it came out?. "La Semilla del diablo" (The devil's seed) although it somewhat spoils the movie, the average audience would rather see something with that title than the original. This is just to make a movie more interesting and add more ticket sales. and just like you said, it doesn't really help and people go for a more literal translation. In later home media re-releases the movie was retitled "El bebé de Rosemary". This happened quite a bit in Mexico.

Did you steal this post from last year's thread? I could swear I've seen it before.
