It might not have contributed much to Brazilian filmmaking in an artistic sense, but A Grande Família - O Filme has certainly done well for the box-office: the film premiered in first place on 262 screens, earning R$2.5 million (over 1 million USD) in its first weekend. This is the sixth biggest opening of a Brazilian film in the history of the country, which is welcome news for those who are hoping 2007 will be commercially healthier for national cinema than 2006.
