The animated film sold more than 150,000 tickets between Thursday and Sunday so that attendance throughout the country grew 57% compared to the immediately previous weekend.
After a terrible previous weekend (210,000 spectators), the premiere of the new installment of the Garfield saga improved the general panorama a little (not that much). Indeed, Garfield away from home It sold just over 150,000 tickets in 405 theaters and captured 45.5% of the total audience (330,000 people). We will have to see how far this animated film goes, taking into account the performances of the two previous installments in Argentina: Garfield (2004) sold 755,000 seats, while Garfield 2 (2006) was only seen by 330,000.
The domain of Garfield, far from home It was so overwhelming that another news from last Thursday like Profession danger It grossed five times less: 32,000 admissions on 289 screens. The other release of the week that entered the Top 10 was horrorland with just over 10,000 spectators in 109 theaters. On the other hand, the debut of Love, lies and blood (Love Lies Bleeding) with just 1,700 tickets on 30 screens.
To highlight (for better and for worse) the case of Challengers. Released last week in just 93 theaters, Luca Guadagnino’s film with Zendaya obtained the best average per copy in the entire market in its debut. However, in its second week it lost 22% of its screens. What happened? He still improved his call by 7%. Yes, now with only 72 theaters, it sold almost 20,000 tickets and added 50,000 in 11 days. The myopia of distributors and exhibitors sometimes draws attention in a market as punished as the Argentine one, where it is not common for a film to improve its sales in the second week thanks to “word of mouth.”
