The Snow Society It does not stop growing. The ambitious project of the Spanish director Juan Antonio Bayona continues to accumulate recognition and distinctions week after week. The film was screened for the first time at the prestigious Venice Film Festival. Then, in mid-December, she hit theaters around the world. A release, however, very limited and that limited its possibilities at the box office. And, just two weeks later, he reached Netflix.
Although the film has been resonating for months, especially in Spain and Latin America, it was after its launch on the platform that it really started to boil. As soon as it appeared in their catalogue, it made it onto the lists of the most viewed in Netflix in dozens of countries, including the main markets. The Snow Society It is being seen in the United States, half of Europe, all of Latin America and even in many places in Asia, Africa and Oceania. The project has been launched, to the point of having broken a historic record.
As revealed Netflix with your data, The Snow Society has already entered its list of the platform’s most popular non-English-speaking films. This ranking takes as references the views of each film in a period of three months since its premiere. But it only took 11 days for the Spanish film to sneak into the top 10. A sensational record only comparable to the premieres at the top of that list. At the moment, it has accumulated 51 million views, surpassing the Spanish one as well. Below zero.
As it is, he still has practically 80 days left to continue gaining that number. Therefore, it is foreseeable that it will climb much higher in the ranking. The following objectives of The Snow Society they are the german No news at the front with 52 million views, the Swedish Black Crab with 53.9 million already the Italian My name is Revenge with 56.4 million. If the trajectory continues as it has until now, it will not be difficult to surpass them in just a few days. The highest positions on the list are somewhat further away, although not at all impossible. The top 1 goes to Norway troll, which added 103 million views. The next three are the Spanish ones Nowhere (85.7 million), The hole (82.8 million) and through my window (61.1 million). Only time will tell if he can overcome them.
The Snow Societyresounding success
The truth is that the historical position that he will occupy The Snow Society in Netflix It won’t be known until that 90-day period is over. But the fact that it has placed itself within the ranking of non-English speaking films in less than two weeks is a spectacular achievement. To this we must add the good work of the film in the awards season. To begin with, it managed to be nominated for best non-English language film at the Golden Globes. An award that he lost to the French woman Anatomy of a fallwhich for now seems unbeatable.
The next great opportunity will be in the BAFTAwhere The Snow Society It has also slipped into that category. And the jackpot will come with the Oscar. It is still unknown if the film will be nominated, although everything indicates that it will. The film has made it past the final cut of candidates in both the Best International Film category and the Best Soundtrack, Best Makeup and Hairstyling, and Best Special Effects categories. Doubts about whether he will get any of those nominations will be cleared up on January 23. And just a few days later, on February 10, he will compete for up to 13 statuettes of the Goya Awardswhere it is one of the main favorites.
