[Newscast] "The Impossible" continues to top Spanish box office in 2nd week

In Spain, Warner Bros. Espana’s release of Lo Impossible (The Impossible), director Juan Antonio Bayona’s action adventure costarring Naomi Watts and Ewan McGregor, dominated the market for the second consecutive weekend. The second round at 643 screens yielded $8.7 million and a No. 1 ranking. The cume stands at $25.5 million over 10 days of release, which Warners says, makes Lo Impossible the “highest-grossing film for 2012” in Spain.

There’s gotta be something to that box office in Spain and everywhere reports on the film talks about the gut wrenching turn by Australia’s own. ‘Watts packs a huge charge of emotion as the battered, ever-weakening Maria whose tears of pain and fear never appear fake or idealized.’ – The Hollywood Reporter
