as Newsweek clarified, referred \u2062to films with Christian themes.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Sony has had \u200ctremendous success \u200dwith their Affirm Studios, but the majority of \u200ctheir box\u2064 office revenue comes from the U.S.,&#8221; Ferrer added. &#8220;Just look at how films like &#8216;Heaven is \u2063for Real&#8217; and the recent George \u200cForeman film [&#8216;Big George Foreman&#8217;] \u200d<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-anatomy-of-a-stolen-election-the-fraud-cannot-stand\/\" title=\"The Anatomy of a Stolen Election \u2013 The Fraud Cannot Stand\">garnered<\/a> 90 percent of their earnings from\u2064 the U.S. and only 10 percent from international\u2063 markets.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Yet again, real-world facts have contradicted the opinions of so-called experts.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re\u200d witnessing packed theaters, \u200dstanding ovations, widespread \u2063enthusiasm, and strong word-of-mouth from Buenos \u200cAires to Mexico City, Bogota to Caracas, Lima, and beyond,&#8221;

and it&#8217;s thanks to the audience that we\u200d survived\u2063 the \u200cattacks from the critics,&#8221; \u2063Monteverde revealed in an interview with \u200bNewsweek.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>He attributed part of the film&#8217;s success in\u200c Mexico to his and producer Eduardo\u2062 Ver\u00e1stegui&#8217;s Mexican heritage and their established\u200d reputation in the country.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;In Mexico, we have greater access to media, and people there are\u200d familiar with our work.
