Highlights of the year
Atresmedia Cine, box office and awards
Atresmedia Cine has been the main player and the driving force behind one of the best years in the history of Spanish cinema. The Group’s cinematographic division produced eight feature films that, together with those released at the end of 2013 and were still shown in cinemas during 2014, recorded a revenue of 34.9 million euros. This figure represents 27% of the box office takings for all Spanish films.
All the Atresmedia Cine productions released this year have been among the 25 top films and three of them are among the five most watched (Torrente 5, Exodus: dioses y reyes y La isla mínima).
La isla mínima has clearly been the film of the year for both audiences and critics. The film won ten of the total of eleven “Goyas” received by Atresmedia, to which were added five Feroz Awards, two Forqué Awards, eight CEC Medals (Cinema Writers Circle) and ten Asecan awards, among others.
The highest grossing Atresmedia Cine film of the year was Torrente 5, which took in more than 10 million euros in the box office. The fifth Torrente film is in third position in the ranking of Spanish films. During the weekend of its release it was seen by more than half a million spectators, bringing in more than 3,700,000 euros on its première.
