Buen Camino Hits €13.7 Million in Two Days, Dominating Italy’s Holiday Box Office

Fueled by an unusually wide rollout plus broad national turnout, Checco Zalone’s comedy held more than 70% of ticket sales through Santo Stefano.

Overview

  • Cinetel data show a €5.67 million Christmas Day debut, equal to 78.8% of the day’s €7.20 million box office, with about 680,000 admissions.
  • On December 26, the film added €7.92 million with roughly 974,000 tickets sold, again topping a 70% market share.
  • The two-day total stands at about €13.77 million from nearly 1.65 million admissions, according to the latest tallies.
  • An exceptionally wide release of roughly 1,200 screens drew evenly distributed audiences nationwide, not just in Zalone’s traditional strongholds.
  • The surge lifted the December 26 market to €11.18 million and, after two days, pushed past Avatar: Fuoco e cenere’s running total, with media cautiously projecting a final take in the tens of millions.
