Again, Juan Antonio Bayona has blown up the Spanish box office with one of his films, as already happened with "The Impossible." In this case, "A monster comes to see me" has managed to become the best Spanish premiere of the year thanks to more than half a million viewers in its first weekend, which translates to about 3,7 million euros.
Starring Felicity Jones, Liam Neeson and Lewis MacDougall, "A Monster Comes to See Me" is on its way to becoming highest grossing movie of this 2016 in our country. In addition, much is expected of her internationally, and who knows if she will manage to exceed the 161 million dollars that "The Impossible" raised at the world box office.
The success of "A monster comes to see me"
The first position in the ranking of the national box office heralds another great success for Bayonne, which now will focus on the sequel to "Jurassic World", his new project as director. As for "A monster is coming to see me," this week it will hit theaters in the United States, and previously there will be a special screening in Los Angeles that Bayona himself will attend.
"A monster is coming to see me" is inspired by the eponymous novel by Patrick Ness, a story that stars Conor O'Malley, a 13-year-old boy who suffers bullying at home and has his mother getting worse every day because of cancer. To escape from reality, build a fantasy world that only exists in your imagination and in which a monster will ask you to face the truth.
A fantastic cast
In addition to Liam Neeson, Lewis MacDougall and Felicity Jones, "A Monster Comes to See Me" we also find performers like Sigourney Weaver, Geraldine Chaplin and Toby Kebbel. One of the movies of the year ... don't miss it!
