Besides in accordance with Box office Mexico, this film will enter the top 20 highest-grossing films in the history of the country and managed to collect 504 million pesos in its first week alone, leaving ‘John Wick 4’ far behind with $53.3 million that it raised in the same week and $47.4 million that ‘The Exorcist of the Pope’ collected. However, it is expected that Barbie break box office record.
And the Cheddar popcorn? Mexican is disappointed in the cinema in France
A user named @samyrom9 shared in his TikTok account the great disappointment that he was visiting a cinema in France, since it did not meet his expectations, because he realized that there was not much variety in food
He commented that there is only salted, caramel popcorn, and some chocolates and ice creams, and they have recently added nachos to their menu. He also stressed that there are no VIP rooms there, since they are all traditional rooms, you do not have the option of choosing your seat, but you must arrive early to get a good place, in the video it can be seen that even though he arrived early, everything was already full.
Even the seats are very uncomfortable, as he noted that they cannot be tilted one bit. The woman asked for some natural popcorn but in her opinion they lacked a good Valentina sauce.
To close with a flourish, he showed that all the films are in French, since there is no dubbing or subtitles because the French do not like it.

It is clear that cinema in other countries has a lot to do with their culture, and that can lead to a shock culture in Mexicans. In this sense, a user named @Jorge Gallardo went to the cinema in Washington, DC, United States and demonstrated how expensive it is, simply by purchasing food and tickets.
“You’re going to hallucinate what it costs to go to the movies in the United States,” he described in his video.
