TV Hosts Rebuke Yiddá Eslava’s Pleas as ‘La habitación negra’ Struggles at the Box Office

Eslava denies coercion, issuing an apology for any perceived pressure.

Overview

  • The psychological thriller, produced by and starring Yiddá Eslava alongside Pietro Sibille, opened on October 30 in Peru and has reported low attendance.
  • On the show Amor y fuego, Rodrigo “Peluchín” González criticized the public appeals, saying viewers are not obliged to go and adding, “no vamos a andar de beneficencia pública.”
  • Co-host Gigi Mitre suggested the weak turnout reflects negative word-of-mouth or unmet audience expectations.
  • In a televised appearance, Eslava grew emotional, said she never forced anyone to attend, apologized to those who felt pressured, and pledged to keep working in film.
  • On the podcast Tiempo Muerto, she defended casting herself in her projects with “Porque me dio la gana” and cited her autism to explain her literal communication style.
