Italian comic and actress Paola
Cortellesi's directorial debut C'e' Ancora Domani (There's Still
Tomorrow) on domestic violence has beaten this year's cult
phenom Barbie at the Italian box office, according to data
released on Thursday.
The black-and-white film, telling the domestic drama of an
abused housewife in post-war Rome and confronting issues of
patriarchy and women's empowerment in the year Italian women got
to vote for the first time, has now reached 4,395,868 in ticket
sales compared to 4,389,568 tickets for the Greta Gehrwig-Margot
Robbie-Ryan Gosling hit.
The film that picked up three awards at the 2023 Rome Film Fest
had already entered the top 10 of the highest-grossing Italian
films in the Cinetel era, i.e. since the surveys began in 1995,
and also entered the Cinetel top 25 Italian and foreign films of
all time, at 22nd place.
The ranking is led by the 2009 film Avatar.
