The top positions in the Spanish box office are renewed and with them comes a long-awaited joy for movie theaters. According to Comscore the total of the Spanish box office last weekend has risen to 4.5 million euros, an important improvement compared to the 2.97 million euros that were collected the previous weekend. It has remained very close to the best weekend in terms of the box office in times of pandemic, when ‘Black Widow’, ‘To all train! Destino Asturias’ and ‘Fast & Furious 9’ brought the total to 4.7 million euros. Marvel is, once again, the great winner of a very good weekend for the cinemas of Spain.
‘Shang-Chi and the legend of the ten rings’ debuts in the first position of the ranking with a collection of 1.5 million euros and a very good average per screen of 2,490 euros. It almost manages to match the premiere of ‘Black Widow’ but has to settle for being the fourth best premiere of the year, falling behind ‘The Warren File: Forced by the demon’ and winning the debut of ‘Godzilla vs. Kong ‘. Simu Liu’s film gets a great premiere for the times and being an unknown character for the general public. Perhaps it gets a better projection than the Scarlett Johansson film as it is not available in streaming yet and has garnered much more enthusiastic reviews.
Tessa and Hardin continue to receive the love of Spanish fans, who make ‘Despues de. Lost Souls’ opens in second position with 855,367 euros and an average of 1,525 euros per screen. Taking on Marvel was almost impossible, and yet the film starring Hero Fiennes Tiffin and Josephine Langford has drawn nearly 130,000 viewers in its opening weekend and has grossed about the same as the previous film, ‘After. In a thousand pieces’, a film that stood up to the coronavirus last year and managed to snatch the number one from ‘Tenet’. Now, being such a movie for fans, it would be normal for it to fall a lot on its second weekend. Likewise, our country remains faithful to the adaptations of Anna Todd’s novels.
‘Maligno’, chita shutting up
The surprise of the week is titled ‘Maligno’. James Wan’s new horror movie hit theaters with little promotion, there was not even a press pass for the specialized critics. However, as the Spanish we really like a good scare and it came out with a good number of copies (it is available on 339 screens, nothing to do with the 610 of ‘Shang-Chi’ but, again, it is a film that almost has not been publicized), the film has managed to premiere in third position with 510,245 euros and an average per screen very similar to that of ‘After’. We will see how it holds up although it does not have much competition in the genre until the end of the month.
‘The Paw Patrol: The Movie’ loses number one and falls to fourth position, but its decline is only 38%. Its total reaches 1.26 million euros and it continues to be the family option par excellence on the billboard. Now he has to face going back to school, but there is not much competition looming in the coming weeks either. Closes the top 5 ‘Free Guy’, which adds 210,000 euros to a total of 2.2 million euros in three weeks. It also suffers a moderate drop compared to the previous weekend. Good data for the Ryan Reynolds movie.
The rest of the main premieres of the week came out with few copies but they have not gotten the attention of the public either. Despite the good reviews ‘Chavalas’ debuts at number 15 with 50,855 euros, although starting with only 73 copies he gets one of the best averages per screen of the week (697 euros). ‘Los Olchis’ has failed to attract the little ones and starts its journey in 18th place despite having come out with 177 copies.
This week they hit theaters more than a dozen premieres, although none of them have a blockbuster cut so Shang-Chi will most likely continue to reign at our box office. The most outstanding novelties are ‘Blue Bayou’, ‘Who’s who?’, ‘Gunpowder Milkshake (explosive cocktail)’, ‘Worth’ or ‘With whom you travel’.
