Checco Zalone's 'Buen Camino' Sets Box Office Records in Italy

The film 'Buen Camino,' released by renowned Italian comedian Checco Zalone on December 25, has shattered records, becoming the highest-grossing Italian film of all time. Zalone, whose real name is Luca Medici, has surpassed his previous film, 'Quo Vado,' by several hundred thousand euros. In 2016, 'Quo Vado' grossed just over 65 million euros, and it appears 'Buen Camino' is on track to exceed 68 million euros, which would place it ahead of even the first 'Avatar' film, released in 2010. Factors contributing to the success of 'Buen Camino' include a rise in ticket prices, partially due to inflation, which has encouraged increased revenues. However, in terms of actual ticket sales, ‘Quo Vado’ remains unbeatable with 93 million tickets sold compared to ‘Buen Camino's’ 81 million. Checco Zalone, now 48, has been a force in Italian cinema since he began his acting career in 2009 with ‘Cado dalle nubi.’ With each new film, he has achieved record-breaking success, making it difficult for subsequent films to keep pace. 'Buen Camino' is yet another testament to his ability to connect with audiences and deliver box office hits. 'Buen Camino' has not only made waves at the box office but has also solidified Zalone's place as one of Italy's most prominent and beloved figures in the entertainment industry. As the days progress, it will be interesting to see if 'Buen Camino' can indeed challenge the overall box office records in Italian cinema history. Related Sources: • Source 1 • Source 2
