Each premiere of Amenábar was expected like May Water to raise the share of Spanish cinema. Thus, in such a weak year in terms of box office for Spanish cinema, the premiere of Amenábar agora it was highly anticipated to give a little push, quite big, to the quota of the national cinema.
And, due to the first box office data, despite the criticism from the specialized press, the general public is responding because on Friday Ágora achieved a collection of about 1,2 million, and on Saturday, about 1,7 million euros. In two days, it has almost 3 million euros and could end the weekend above 4 million, which, with the data for Monday's holiday, could go to almost 5 million euros.
With these data, unless word of mouth is very bad, and I don't think it is, Ágora It could end its commercial career in cinemas with a collection close to 18 million euros. In this way, there will still be a lot of money to be raised to recover the investment of 50 million that the film has cost but, surely, with the worldwide collection we will talk about a box office above 100 million euros.
