Overview

  • Directed by Mariano Cohn and Gastón Duprat, the Guillermo Francella anthology drew about 417,000 viewers in its first four days, according to Ultracine.
  • The film is screening on roughly 400 screens nationwide, and some outlets are reporting higher tallies as late counts are finalized.
  • Francella credited a theater‑first rollout and the message that it would be only in cinemas for luring back audiences who had not gone since the pandemic.
  • Public reaction remains divided, with Pablo Echarri and Katja Alemann criticizing the project and Luis Brandoni and Baby Etchecopar publicly defending Francella.
  • Political praise, including screenings hosted by President Javier Milei, and arguments over state funding have kept the debate active, while actress Eva De Dominici stressed that a discussed scene is not based on a real case.
