Overview

• The Guillermo Francella–led anthology directed by Mariano Cohn and Gastón Duprat sold over 330,000 tickets in its first four days, making it the top domestic release of the year.
• The film premiered on August 14 across more than 400 screens without INCAA support, reflecting shifts toward private funding and broad theatrical distribution.
• President Javier Milei screened Homo Argentum for cabinet allies and posted on X that it exposes the “oscura e hipócrita agenda de los progres caviar,” framing it as a critique of woke culture.
• Industry peers remain divided after Francella’s remarks dismissing low-attendance auteur films, with Pablo Echarri publicly disputing his comments and José María Listorti defending his work.
• Business figures like Marcos Galperin and media personalities have amplified the film’s success as evidence against state subsidies, intensifying discussions ahead of October’s legislative elections.
