The movie was only present in 130 cinemas (instead of the 300 intended) and released around the same time as Alvin and the Chimpunks 4, Steve Jobs and Deadpool.
So it was pretty average for french animation movies standarts, but they wanted to do much more than that.
On the other hand, even though critics didn't like the film, the fans gave it 4,6/5 stars in the Allociné site near the end of february(66% of the votes were 5 stars, 633 votes).
The reasons theorized for the lack of success is: lack of advertisement, date of release and, according to Tot, the fact that people expect animation movies to be only for little kids which made Dofus "out of target".
