Homo Argentum Sets Disney+ Debut for December 19 as It Holds No. 1 at Argentina’s Box Office

A theatrical-first strategy is delivering over one billion pesos to INCAA as the film forgoes subsidies.

Overview

  • As of September 3, Ultracine reports 1,442,474 tickets sold in 21 days, keeping the film comfortably atop the local box office.
  • In its third week it captured 55% of total cinema attendance despite a 47% week‑over‑week drop in sales.
  • Disney confirmed the streaming release for December 19 on Disney+, a later window set to maximize the film’s strong theatrical run.
  • INCAA is estimated to have received 1,019,283,800 pesos from the statutory ticket levy as of September 2, while producers did not request INCAA production subsidies and used a Buenos Aires cash rebate worth about 2% of the budget.
  • The regional rollout continues with Paraguay opening on September 4 and forthcoming theatrical releases in Peru (September 23), Ecuador (October 16) and Brazil (November 20), as the film now faces new competition from The Conjuring 4.
