‘Journey to Paradise’ surpasses ‘Tadeo Jones 3’ in first place in the Spanish box office

One more week, the results of the Spanish box office are bitter. According to Comscore data, over the weekend from 9 to 11 September a million euros less was collected than in the previous period, specifically 3,366,521 euros among the 20 most viewed films, with a decrease of 23%. Although the first place in the ranking is occupied by a premiere, that of ‘Journey to Paradise’, which took the podium off ‘Tadeo Jones 3: The Emerald Table’, the romantic comedy by Julia Roberts and George Clooney entered only 851,138 € , a figure far from the over 2 million reached by Tadeo or ‘Padre no hay más que uno 3’ in their respective releases. It is clear that no premiere this summer was strong enough to move the masses, let’s hope that the arrival of autumn and the bad weather will change that …

With a drop of 65%, the largest on the list, the third place is occupied by ‘Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero’, which adds 259 thousand euros for a total that touches one and a half million, but in seven days it has lowered the average. for cinemas from 2,365 euros to 792 euros. Sony will keep it at 489 screens in its second week.

‘Bullet Train’ closes the top 5 after six weeks on the bill. The film starring Brad Pitt adds another 223,700 euros for a total of 7.29 millionwith a decrease of 36% and an average of 753 euros per room.
