La bola negra becomes Spain’s eighth-highest-grossing Spanish film
La bola negra, a Spanish drama written and directed by Javier Ambrossi and Javier Calvo, has earned €23.5 million at cinemas.
That puts it eighth among Spanish films by box-office revenue, according to provisional figures.
It has moved ahead of three films, including Ágora and Torrente 2: Mission in Marbella.
The ranking does not adjust for inflation or differences in ticket prices over time.
The film has sold 3.7 million tickets, a separate measure that still leaves it short of the 4.3 million needed to reach tenth place on the all-time attendance list.
Its revenue is far below the top Spanish film, Ocho apellidos vascos, which earned €56.1 million.
If its current box-office strength continues, La bola negra could climb further, but it has not yet reached the top five.
La bola negra has earned €23,525,643, making it Spain’s eighth-highest-grossing Spanish film, according to provisional figures from Rentrak.
The film moved ahead of Ágora, Torrente 2: misión en Marbella and La gran aventura de Mortadelo y Filemón in the historical box-office ranking.
The drama was written and directed by Javier Ambrossi and Javier Calvo and is inspired by the shadow of Federico García Lorca.
It has sold 3.7 million tickets, fewer than the 4.3 million needed to reach tenth place on Spain’s all-time attendance list.
The ranking by gross revenue does not adjust for inflation or differences in ticket prices over time.
