Well, in the top movies of Japan's box office...let's see:

1. Confessions

2. Kamen Rider Den-O The Movie

3. Sex and the City 2

4. Alice in Wonderland

5. Something called "Isolated Female" if this translation's right, haven't heard of it

6. Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time

7. Battle Royale: Psychic Trick

8. RAILWAYS

9. The Last Zatoichi

10. Box!

2ch had a more complete listing, where Hetalia was ranked as 15. Yeah, being animated and such an unusual type of series to begin with probably didn't do it any favors. I've heard that DEEN and Frontier Works handed out survey cards at some theaters to gauge reception, though some anon mentioned their theater didn't get any. Frontier Works has some feedback form too, but it seems you can only access it through your mobile phone. I wonder how many fans have protested?
