‘Tadeo Jones 3’ repeats in first place in a stagnant Spanish box office

The success of “Tadeo Jones 3: The Emerald Tablet” continues. The film remains in first place at the Spanish box office after its second weekend on the bill, adding 1.37 million euros to the total, according to data from Comscore. In just two weeks, the total of the Spanish-produced animated film amounts to 5.41 million eurosa success for Paramount Pictures, which is experiencing a fantastic 2022, thanks above all to the phenomenon ‘Top Gun: Maverick’.

However, the box office is still stuck at very low figures which indicate the last torments of a rather quiet summer of big releases in its final stretch. If last week the box office recovered a little (not much) compared to previous ones, this weekend, total funding has dropped slightly again and does not even reach 5 million euros with its top 20 combinedremaining at 4.37 million and 656,030 tickets sold.

The success of ‘Tadeo Jones 3’ is yet another proof of the power of family cinema when it comes to attracting audiences to theaters. In second place we find another animated film, aimed at a more adult audience, ‘Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero’, which debuts with a respectable 738,000 euros and an average of 2,365 euros in 312 screenswhich reminds us not to underestimate the anime, which has many fans in our country.

‘Bullet Train’ is repeated at number 3 with a drop of only 19% compared to the previous week. The film starring Brad Pitt continues its success for Sony in Spain after several weeks at number 1, and adds 348,000 euros more to a total that is already close to 7 million euros (6,829 million). To complete the top 5 we find two new releases, both Spanishs: the sports drama based on real events ’42 seconds’, which is in fourth place with 320,933 euros raised in 331 theaters, and the comedy ‘La prova’, in fifth place with 288,210 euros in 317 theaters.

‘After. Amor Infinito ‘plummets from number 2 to number 6, recording the steepest drop in the top 10 (57%), with € 227,204 more for a total of 1.44 million so far. ‘Father there is no more than a 3’ enters its decline phase, going from 5 to 7 with 211,000 million, but Santiago Segura may be more than satisfied with the run of the film, which has amassed a whopping 14.76 million euros . They close the top 10 ‘NOP’, the new Jordan Peele, which drops from 4 to 8 in its third week, ‘My God, what have you done with it?’, Third installment of the French saga, which drops three places to 9, and the Spanish ‘I will have fun’ in last place. All three have exceeded one million euros in total.

In positions 10 to 20, recent hits that stand out from the box office stand out, such as’ Minions: The Origin of Gru ‘,’ DC League of Super Pets’, ‘Elvis’,’ Jurassic World: Dominion ‘,’ Thor : Love and Thunder ‘and, of course, the phenomenon’ Top Gun: Maverick ‘, which lasts for 14 years despite being available digitally for a few weeks. he wasn’t so lucky ‘Three thousand years awaiting you’, which debuted outside the top 10, in 12th place, with only 87,315 euros in 177 screens, a particularly bad result for the new George Miller (“Mad Max: Fury road”).

The romantic comedy to the rescue

This is a rather slow last summer stretch for the box office, which after a few strong first months has gone on hiatus in front of the return to school. To spice things up a bit, two cinema heavyweights are back on the bill next Friday, 9 September, Julia Roberts and George Clooney, who star in an expected reunion in the romantic comedy “Journey to Heaven”, the first star of the week. But as usual there are alternatives for all tastes: the horror prequel ‘The Orphan: First Murder’, the French ‘And this … whose is it?’ and ‘The Accused’, the Italian ‘Il Buco’, the Mexican drama ‘The Other Tom’, the Indian ‘Brahmastra Part One: Shiva’ or the fantastic German family film ‘The School of Magical Animals’. And also three Spanish premieres: ‘Jaula’, Dúo and ‘Mi otro yo’.
