The film **‘Aída y vuelta’**, directed by **Paco León**, has starred in an **impactful premiere in Spanish cinemas**, grossing **1,557,475 euros in its first weekend at the box office**, which has earned it the position of **number one at the national box office**

Premiering on January 30, 2026, the film adapts the mythical television series Aída to the big screen, one of the most emblematic comedies on Spanish television, which marked an entire generation. With an approach that mixes elements of internal fiction and meta-narrative —playing with its characters both inside and outside the main plot— the film has quickly connected with the public, garnering positive reviews from specialized critics. 

The success of Aída y vuelta occurs in a Spanish cinematic landscape that, although it has shown disparate trends in recent months, continues to find positive responses in productions that appeal to memory and humor that were part of popular culture. This premiere is added to other titles that have stood out at the box office —such as great family comedies or national independent cinema— and reflects that the public continues to support high-profile projects linked to franchises with history.

The good reception of the film also highlights the value of long-running narratives that generate lasting bonds with the audience, beyond fleeting trends, at a time when Spanish cinema competes both with international productions and with the growing offering of streaming platforms. 

With this start in theaters, *Aída y vuelta* places itself as one of the most outstanding releases of the year in Spain and aims to prolong its success while continuing to accumulate viewers and box office in the coming weeks.
