The reign of “Torrente Presidente” at the box office remains unquestionable. Not even the release of “Amarga Navidad,” the new feature film óvar, has called this into question, as the latest adventure of the iconic character created and played confidently maintained the number one spot in Spanish cinemas.
This represents an undisputed victory for “Torrente Presidente,” which grossed approximately 1.56 million euros yesterday, accounting for about two-thirds of the total revenue from films in theaters on that Friday. This brings its overall earnings to an impressive 12.7 million euros, a record figure that is expected to grow further before it leaves the big screens.
In contrast, “Amarga Navidad” had to settle for an estimated income of around 177,000 euros, which is just over 11% of what “Torrente Presidente” earned. Although this marks an improvement compared to Almodóvar’s previous works, the anticipated gross for the weekend is expected to hover around 700,000 euros. However, it all pales in comparison to the massive phenomenon that Segura represents.
Santiago Segura himself commented on the situation, stating, “Like with the other films, I believe that ‘Amarga Navidad’ will benefit from movies filling the theaters, people seeing the posters, watching the trailers, and getting excited about enjoying cinema in theaters… And I’m glad about that!”
The next major contender for “Torrente Presidente” will be “Proyecto Salvación,” the acclaimed science fiction film starring Ryan Gosling. While it is already available in the United States, its release in Spain has been delayed until Friday, March 27.
