"La Bola Negra", Javier Calvo and Javier Ambrossi's drama inspired by the life and work of Federico García Lorca, with Penélope Cruz and Glenn Close, has grossed €25 million (roughly $29 million) in Spain since opening on 25 September, Screen reports, which puts it level with "The Orphanage" (2007) as the seventh-biggest Spanish film ever at the domestic box office. Its third weekend took €4.96 million (\~$5.8 million) on 455 screens, up from 415 at launch, for independent distributor Elastica Films. Netflix holds rights in territories including North America, Altitude releases it in the UK, and the film is Spain's Oscar submission.
