“When the heat comes, boys fall in love“, sang Sonia and Selena back in the early 2000s. It seems that being on the verge of summer not only affects male hormones, but also favors the Spanish box office, which After two weeks of consecutively recording the worst collection of the year, it has finally recovered a little. Although Will Smith had to take charge of this.
The Oscar-winning actor for ‘The Williams Method’ and Martin Lawrence have once again stepped into the shoes of Mike Lowrey and Marcus Burnett in ‘Bad Boys: Ride or Die’, which has started its run in our country, screening in 739 theaters in 360 cinemas . The fourth installment of the ‘Two Rebel Police’ saga shows that it is in top form with a collection, according to Comscore data, of 1,623,925 euros throughout the weekend of June 7 to 9. Great data that has allowed him to harvest a average per screen of 2,197 euros having sold 213,846 tickets between the indicated days.
Very far from these data but demonstrating its solidity is ‘Imaginary Friends’, which in its fourth week not only rises one position, from third to second, but even manages to increase its collection by 12%. The film directed, written and produced by John Krasinski remains in 329 cinemas, earning an average of 1,164 euros. Adding 383,038 euros, the film already exceeds 2.5 million (2,601,015 euros) in total. ‘The Vigilantes’ closes the podium, the Ishana Shyamalan’s directorial debutdaughter of prolific filmmaker M. Night Shyamalan. The supernatural horror film grosses 311,012 euros in its premiere in 305 cinemas, which represents a ratio per screen of 954 euros.
In fourth and fifth position we find the movies that have accumulated the most money in the top 10. ‘Garfield: The Movie’, in its sixth week, climbs one position and Its collection improves by 9% compared to last year, totaling 292,399 euros, which allows it to exceed 5.5 million euros in total. For its part, ‘Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes’ experienced a decrease of 23% in its fifth week, but the 254,157 euros with which it was made They bring the film directed by Wes Ball to almost 6.5 million.
You have to go down to sixth place to find the film that has led during the last two weeks, although not with the expected data. ‘Furiosa: From the Mad Max saga’ suffers again significant drop in its third week, this time of 43%, adding 223,406 euros to its collection, managing to overcome the cumulative barrier of two million (2,192,867 euros). The data from George Miller’s tape compromises the continuity of the saga. The one that doesn’t seem to have hit the mark either is the biopic of Amy Winehouse, ‘Back to Black’, which drops one position by falling 34% in its second week settling for 170,740 euros
The last release in the top 10 is by Richard Linklater, who places ‘Hit Man. Killer by Chance’ in eighth place. Caber points out that The film starring Glen Powell has only been screened in 130 theaters, where it has managed to amass 106,437 euros, which makes an average of 819 euros. In this area, therefore, it is the fifth. They close the ‘Tarot’ ranking, which holds on in its fifth week with 101,149 euros; and ‘Haikyu!! The battle of the garbage dump’, which in only its second week plummets 73% from second place, raising 97,810 euros.
After two fateful weeks and after the Film Festival, held between June 3 and 6, the Spanish box office has managed to recover a little. The 20 most viewed films of the last weekend in Spain They have managed to exceed 4 million euros, with half of the box office belonging to ‘Bad Boys: Ride or Die’ and ‘Imaginary Friends’. Our rooms get some air after The previous week saw the lowest figure of the yearwith 2.73 million euros.
Crowe and Jovovich
It does not seem that next weekend we will find films that will make the Spanish box office improve these data, since there is hardly any competition in sight waiting for what they can contribute the post-apocalyptic ‘Breathe’, starring Milla Jovovich and Jennifer Hudson; and the thriller ‘Sleeping Dogs’, starring Russell Crowe.
The rest of the films and documentaries that are released They are ‘Green Border’, ‘Platonic Love’, ‘Eureka’, ‘The Flag’, ‘The Lost Homeland’, ‘The Red Sky’, ‘Golden Peak and His Friends’, ‘Champion’, ‘The Artic Convoy’ and ‘Benedetti, 60 years with Luz’.
