"La Bola Negra", Javier Ambrossi and Javier Calvo's Spanish drama, opens on four screens in Los Angeles and New York to a $277,500 weekend, a per-screen average of $69,375 that Netflix calls the second-highest ever for a film not in the English language and the highest for a Spanish film, Screen reports, in the first box office figures Netflix has reported. Netflix also claims the all-time highest gross for a non-English-language film at the Angelika in New York, the Paris Theater and AMC Century City, excluding dubbed anime. The film has a 47-day exclusive theatrical run, expands to San Francisco, Toronto, Brooklyn and Landmark Sunset on 25 October, to 13 more markets on 30 October and wide on 6 November, and streams on Netflix from 2 December.
