An ambitious film for which a sequel was announced but never produced.
At the beginning of the year, there was a lot of talk that “The Snow Society” had become the most expensive Spanish film in history, with a budget of 60 million euros. Until then, that honor belonged to… A sci-fi film costing 55 million euros Which failed at the box office despite its participation Dwayne Johnson.
He remained in the forbidden land
The movie I'm talking about is “Planet 51”, a huge animated film that also involved the UK and Canada. Much was expected of her – except for Johnson, Jessica Biel, Justin Long, Gary Oldman or John Cleese They presented the audio in its original English version, but when push came, it did not achieve the expected success.
The final theatrical revenue for “Planet 51” reached $105.6 million In Spain, it amounted to 11.6 million euros – a fairly low number if we take into account that 55 million euros at that time were equivalent to about 70 million dollars at the time. And then all that was spent on advertising, which certainly wasn't much…
despite this, Illions Animation Studiosthe company that was also behind the under-claimed “Mortadelo and Filemón contra Jimmy el Cachondo” — another box office flop that left us without a sequel I was looking forward to seeing — even announced in 2010 that “Planet 51” would be We have a sequel, but it obviously came to nothing, as we haven't had any news about it.
What's left for “Planet 51” is Goya for Best Animated Film And the fact that even today it is one of the highest-grossing Spanish films of all time. Of course, the majority no longer remember – it is not useful to just have it available In Flexol Or its physical copy has been out of print for years – for this film about an alien family whose lives are changed when an American astronaut arrives on their planet.
