In Spain, the film enters its second week on display. To date it has raised a total of 2.400.000 euros. It was the second most watched film last weekend, although it is true that it has achieved an average per copy higher than any other by raising 5000 euros for each one. The success that the film is having in the theaters enables the progressive expansion of the number of copies: February 13 (177 copies), February 20 (200 copies), February 27 (250 copies).
To his credit are more than 50 awards, including 4 Golden Globes, 7 Baftas and dozens of awards from international critics. It is surprising to think that it was on the verge of being a movie relegated to being video store meat without going through the cinemas.
