Avatar or Checco Zalone? Who wins the big screen challenge

Crushed by web platforms and changing times cinema It seems to have lost the luster of the good times. The magic of the big screen struggles to keep up with the pace of infinite choices directly from the sofa at home, but every now and then (especially at Natale) some arrive alien spaceships capable of completely reversing the situation. This year they are competing “Good Way”the new comedy with Checco Zalone and the blockbuster “Avatar: Fire and Ashes”.

Critics have essentially promoted the third chapter of the Pandora sagaWhile “Good Way” was not entirely convincing. But, on the field, for now the victory largely goes toApulian artist and the trend is clear. Zalone himself joked about the comparison with James Cameron: «This James, what’s his name, Cameroon, should wake up on the 26th and ask himself “but who is this Zalone”». Maybe that’s how it really happened if you look at the numbers.

Only on Christmas Day the comedy of Checco Zalone he cashed in 5.671.922 euro with an average copy of 7.744 and a share of 78,8% of the total box office takings, equal to 7.195.899 euro. Il best Christmas debut ever (the record belonged to Natale a New York by Neri Parenti with Massimo Ghini and Christian De Sica who in 2006 exceeded i 3 million euros)

According to data from Cinetelif we also add Boxing Day “Good Way” he cashed in 7.918.273 eurohelping to push the weekend total over the 13.5 million euros in just two days of programming. Impressive numbers

It was from fourteen years that, on Christmas day, the film market did not exceed 7 million euros total collections – underlines the Corriere della Sera –. Translated into percentages, it equals +501,5% compared to last week and +108,4% compared to Christmas Day 2024.

Compared to the other titles scheduled, the difference is marked. “Avatar: Fire and Ashes”in second place, recorded a gross of approximately 1.6 million euros with little more than 170 thousand spectatorsWhile “Nuremberg” it settled around 510mila euro with beyond 62 thousand admissions.

In short, after “I fall from the clouds” (2009), “What a beautiful day” (2011), “Sunshine” (2013), “Where am I going?” (2016) e “Tolo tolo” (2020) l’artist from Bari probably hit the mark again.

GOOD WAY – Checco’s life is wealthy and very comfortable and it couldn’t be otherwise given that he is the only son of Eugenio Zalone, a very rich sofa manufacturer. Beached by the pool in his luxurious villas, an unknown number of Filipinos at his service, a very young Mexican model as his girlfriend, holidays on his yacht in the company of friends with whom he shares the passion of not wanting to work; it seems like a truly enviable life given that he lacks nothing, absolutely nothing. Actually no. Something is missing. She is the minor daughter Cristal

AVATAR: FIRE AND ASH – Jake Sully, Neytiri and the children Lo’ak, Tuk and Kiri are still guests of the aquatic clan of the Metkayina, but there is no serenity: the death of Neteyam weighs on everyone’s hearts. Spiderdifferent among the Na’vi, despite having repudiated humans and feels part of the family, remains the natural son of Colonel Quaritch: the latter’s avatar is back in shape, still hunting for the revolutionary defector Jake on behalf of the RDA, but also in his own way fond of Spider, who he would like back with him, driven by an ambiguous impulse. In an attempt to protect his family (as well as Spider and the hospitable Metkayna) from further safe incursions, Jake decides to leave with them. The journey, however, reserves a traumatic unexpected event: the impact with the ruthless fire clan, the Mangkwan, known for cruelty and iron discipline.
