Netflix’s Historical Epic Gets a 117% Box Office Boost After Wider Release
A sharp rise in ticket sales
La Bola Negra saw ticket sales climb 117% from the previous weekend. The increase came after the film became available in more than 400 additional locations nationwide. The 155-minute film was directed by Javier Calvo and Javier Ambrossi. Collider reviewer Victoria Luxford described it as a “clear frontrunner for many categories at the Oscars.”
Netflix release set for December
La Bola Negra is scheduled to arrive on Netflix on December 2, 2026. Its box office performance over the coming weeks will be important as it competes with other Oscar hopefuls. The film’s expanded theatrical availability helped drive the recent sales jump, according to the report.
Another contender reaches milestone
A24’s You Can See Everything also performed strongly at the box office last weekend. The three-hour documentary passed $80 million in North American earnings and became the region’s second-highest-grossing non-music documentary.
Directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim, it focuses on Elizabeth Holmes’ days before her incarceration. Its positive word of mouth and viral appeal have helped draw audiences.
