Above 85.000 they saw the film by Yannis Smaragdis in four days

It is relatively difficult to talk about triumph, but everything shows that his last film Yannis Smaragdis "God Loves Caviar" has already touched the pulse of a very large part of the Greek cinema-going public. Possibly of course, to have also touched the pulse of an audience that needs a very good reason to go to the cinema where they otherwise don't usually go. Why indeed, regardless of its quality, the film dealing with the life and state of Ioannis Varvakis is a cinematic event for Greece.

According to the data provided to BIMA by the film's distribution company, Feelgood Entertainment, "Caviar" exceeded the 85,000 tickets during the last four days (it had opened in theaters last year, Thursday 11 October).

The number of tickets is indeed very large although we should remember that the film opened in 119 halls together with those located outside Athens but also in Cyprus. From the 85.000 tickets, Feelgood points out that the 50.000 approximately were cut in theaters in Athens.

According to the same company, the gross opening of "Caviar" is one of the best of the year, while on Saturday 13 October tickets doubled compared to Thursday and Friday and many theaters were turning people away.

Regarding the reception of the public, opinions as always in these movie cases, they are varied.  As we learned from the testimonies of viewers found at last weekend's screenings,  there were spectators who jeered during the screenings but also spectators who applauded standing up after the screening. This image was described to us by a spectator who watched "Caviar" at EMBASSI in Kolonaki Square.

However, it will be of great interest to see how the film moves in its second week of release because it will determine whether "God Loves Caviar" really has a rich future ahead of it or whether it will be a deflated balloon..
