The Spanish film industry recently saw the release of several major productions, including the animation ‘Tadeo Jones y la Lámpara Maravillosa’ and Rodrigo Sorogoyen’s drama ‘El ser querido’. Director Enrique Gato highlighted the intensive production demands of animation, noting that animators may only complete “six or seven seconds of footage per week”.

Following these releases, box office revenues experienced a decline, falling below 5 million euros with 626,485 spectators recorded. While ‘Tadeo Jones y la lámpara maravillosa’ remained in the top five, its earnings dropped below 1 million euros. Other films maintaining notable positions included ‘La Odisea’, ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’, and the horror film ‘Insidious: Fuera del más allá’.
