The Spanish box office falls to 4.1 million euros on the Halloween weekend, according to data from Comscore. Cinemas lose 160 thousand spectators compared to the previous weekend, and that three premieres have managed to sneak into the top three positions.
Nevertheless, ‘Black Adam’ maintains number one, and does it without any problem. It loses 45% compared to the weekend of its premiere, but still adds 1.19 million euros to a total that is close to 4 million euros, remaining very close to the total of ‘Elvis’. His first rival to beat as far as superheroes are concerned would be ‘Morbius’, who made 4.72 million euros so it’s a piece of cake for Dwayne Johnson. Can you reach 10.79 million euros for ‘The Batman’? Without such powerful rivals, it has achieved an average of 3,136 euros per cinema and almost 600,000 spectators have already gone to see it.
Álex de la Iglesia directs the strongest premiere of the week. ‘The fourth passenger’ debuts in second position with 643,500 euros and an average of 1,808 euros per cinema. Thus, it achieves a premiere similar to that of ‘Halloween: The End’ a few weeks ago.
In third position, ‘The crooked lines of god’ continues to hold up wonderfully, which achieves 427,960 euros more in its fourth week. It only drops 27%. His total is already 4 million euros. Only two Spanish films have grossed more than her this year (‘Tadeo Jones 3’ and ‘Padre no hay más que uno 3’), but they are still far behind.
‘Smile’ celebrates Halloween in style with a minimum decrease of 10% compared to the previous weekend. It occupies the fourth position and adds 416,037 euros to a total of 4.8 million euros.
‘Lilo, my friend the crocodile’ falls 43% in its second weeksomewhat stronger than other family films, but its 345,500 euros this weekend serve to cross the million euros in total.
The premieres do not break barriers
The premieres of the week by the majors have not managed to gain a foothold. ‘Amsterdam’, distributed by Disney, ranks seventh with 200,303 euros and an average of 655 euros per cinema. It had a cast full of familiar faces, but the criticism has not accompanied and it already came from a weak figure in the United States. Worse has gone to ‘Bros – More than friends’, the first romantic comedy starring a gay man in charge of a major Hollywood studio such as Universal Pictures. Starring Billy Eichner, it debuted in Spain at number 15 with 35,025 euros in box office and only 180 euros per cinema. Despite wanting to open this type of stories to the general public, he has not managed to break the barriers to which he aspired. Perhaps it will have a second life like many romantic comedies when it comes to streaming. The other premiere that sneaks into the top 20 is the lively ‘Hopper, el polloliebre’, which occupies the eighth position with 161,677 euros.
‘Black Adam’ will continue for another week without competition. The main premiere of the week is ‘Don’t look into the eyes’ by Félix Viscarret, with Paco León leading the cast. José Sacristán becomes a priest in the terrifying ’13 exorcisms’. ‘Corten!’, ‘The forging of a champion’ and ‘Vasil’ are other premieres this week.
