If they don’t live under a rock, they discovered it john christopher depp iiJohnny came to Argentina for fans from all over the world. When Antonio Raje took control of his private plane from Punta del Este in February of this year, he had already achieved that. He then stayed with businessman Colcho Rodriguez and his wife Veronica Lozano.
Now, Vero Lozano welcomes him to the Telefe studio for an extensive interview for the afternoon program. There, Johnny talked about his life (a little bit), his role in the movie (a little bit), and mostly about: Modigliani, 3 days in Montparnasse (a lot), his second film as a film director.
For the longest time, no international figure had come to Buenos Aires to promote a film’s premiere. Although it was a different time, Jane Fonda attended the film’s international premiere in a splendid manner. old gringo It’s located in the former Grand Splendid Cinema (now a bookstore) on Santa Fe Boulevard. Tom Cruise also came recently.
Johnny Depp genuinely sympathizes
Depp showed every sympathy, didn’t fight with anyone, and even spoke in a louder tone than in a typical one-on-one interview.
Johnny Depp is on his second visit to Argentina this year.
In other words, Depp made news for all his visits, interpersonal skills, and actions, such as attending the film’s premiere at a movie theater in Palermo, filling the central plaza in La Plata, receiving the keys to the city, eating sweetbreads and ribeye at a restaurant in Puerto Madero and playing the guitar there, but not for the film.
But what happened?
First of all, if necessary, I will reveal that I have admired Johnny Depp for over 30 years. His ability to adapt to the most dissimilar scripts, and his courage to say yes to the most radical proposals made to him throughout his career, are already worthy of admiration and respect.

All the media coverage that followed him during his stay in our country was Didn’t help bring viewers to theaters.
No mistakes are allowed in the numbers.
Modigliani, 3 days in Montparnassewhich premiered on 20 screens on Thursday. OK, not all movies are shown in multiple screenings, as happened at Cinemark Palermo, where Johnny attended the Avan premiere on Tuesday. I’m not going to make it easy on you. Let me tell you some facts. This Thursday’s most-watched movie was already claimed a week ago. predator, wild land. The day before yesterday, 4,065 tickets were sold.

How many tickets did Johnny Depp’s movie sell?
There were 182 people who paid the admission fee. So, Modigliani, 3 days in Montparnasse On Thursday, the opening day, each theater had an average audience of nine people. In the Ultra Cine Ranking, which tallies the number of spectators at movie theaters across the country, it ranks 18th in terms of attendance.
Of course, everything has an explanation.
No, it’s not at Telefe, it’s on the set of his second film as a director.
They saw the photo just as Depp’s fans formed extremely long lines at the premiere, crowding the theater’s fence. There you will find pirate Jack Sparrow, a character from the Pirates of the Caribbean series, alice in wonderland– and they filled Plaza de la Plata, well, those people and others decided not to go to the cinema for now to see Depp’s movie.
Perhaps the key is there.
In those four little words.

Depp’s movies have not co-starred with Johnny Depp.. He’s not Modigliani, Maurice Utrillo, Chaim Soutine, or even Maurice Gunnat, the art collector played by Al Pacino, the actor who asked Depp to direct the film years ago. It’s the same film Pacino wanted to make with Martin Scorsese as director, but couldn’t make it happen.
Therefore, the people who mobilized to see their idol live may not be so determined to sit down and stand for hours to see a screen where Johnny only appears in the title.
Perhaps the numbers will improve over the weekend. How much is the unknown?. as if the same Modigliani It will continue to be on display from next Thursday, when the movie theater’s signage will be renewed. Whether a film continues to be shown always depends on the number of audiences it draws over the weekend.

Cinemark Palermo has four screenings each day. A total of 36 people watched it on Thursday. battles occur one after anotherwhich is already in its eighth week, has sold three more tickets for DiCaprio. And it’s a single function.
Modigliani The work had its international premiere approximately 14 months ago at the 2024 San Sebastian Music Festival. The overseas tour was not well received by the public. It has so far collected $492,740, according to figures from Box Office Mojo, a website specializing in tracking box office receipts. It won’t even reach 500,000.
Johnny must have looked disgusted when he learned Argentina’s numbers. Or maybe not. His charisma is alive and well for the Argentine people, who may want to save a few pesos and wait for the film to be streamed, or hope it will be shown on Telefe screens on weekend afternoons sooner or later.
