‘Buen Camino’ Opens to €5.67 Million, Dominates Italy’s Christmas Box Office

The Gennaro Nunziante comedy marks Checco Zalone’s third‑largest opening and stands out for debuting on Christmas rather than the typically stronger New Year’s Day.

Overview

  • Opening‑day receipts reached €5,671,922 on December 25, according to Cinetel data reported by Italian outlets.
  • The film captured 78.8% of the day’s takings, lifting the Christmas box office to €7,195,899, a level not seen since 2011.
  • Roughly 680,000 people attended across about 725 cinemas, delivering a per‑screen average of €7,744.
  • The debut trails Zalone’s ‘Tolo Tolo’ and ‘Quo Vado?’ in raw opening totals, with those earlier hits having launched on New Year’s Day.
  • Produced by Indiana Production with Medusa Film, MZL and Netflix, the release drew evenly distributed audiences nationwide from north to south.
