The general public in Spain do love their trashy movies. Surprised Torrente is not on the list.

Take into account that, at the time *Titanic*’s release, the country was still using the Peseta (you may know of that currency, since Capcom used it in *Resident Evil 4*). In Spain, the film was released on January 8th, 1998 and, by the end of that year, had managed to sell 10,651,437 admissions (take into account that, at the time, the country’s population was below 40M, and had an age rating of 13+ (can be compared with PG-13)), for a total of 6,216,797,316 ptas. You can see it [on page 133 of this pdf](https://ia601300.us.archive.org/2/items/boletin-informativo-del-control-de-taquilla/Bolet%C3%ADn%20Informativo%20del%20Control%20de%20Taquilla/boletin-1998.pdf).
During that year, the USD-to-peseta exchanges varied from 156.97 to136.73 pesetas per each dollar, so that amount, in 1998’s money, would range from $45,467,690.46 to $39,605,002.97. And you would then need to apply the inflation for those 28 years that separate us from that time.

Any chance Michael might make this list?

The live action Lion King is scarily close to the Italian’s total, since here it did 1% more for a 37.5M gross
And Avatar 3 didn’t do too bad compared to other countries
