The new film by Pedro Almodóvar, “Juliet,” did not come at a good time. The film debuted in Spain last Friday with dismal box office results, shortly after his name appeared in the so-called “Panama papers”.
The film grossed 600,000 euros (about 684,000 US dollars) between Friday and Sunday, its first three days in theaters, with slightly less than 80 thousand spectators, according to figures released by the auditing company Rentrak today.
Although it was the fifth film most watched weekend, it is the worst result of a release of Almodóvar in over ten years .
“Lovers passengers” (2013), his previous film, won 1.9 million euros (2.1 million dollars) in the first three days of release in Spain; “The Skin I Live In” (2011) earned 1.3 million dollars); “Broken Embraces” (2009) US $ 1 million; “Volver” (2006) reached US $ 2 million and “Bad Education” (2004) US $ 1.3 million.
It is not possible to know whether the appearance of the filmmaker in “Panama Papers,” released last week, detracted the premiere of the movie. The scandal led to Almodóvar to cancel part of the promotion planned with the media, including this interview the director himself remaining to be done.
Agustín Almodóvar and his brother managed an offshore company in the 90s, according to the revelations of the Panama Papers.
The brother of filmmaker said that both are aware of the tax obligations arising from his production company, El Deseo, and disassociated director of society constituted, who said they left “die”. “?? He devoted himself to all creative aspects”
Agustin Almodovar said.
