02 January 2020Checco Zalone beats himself. ToloTolo, the actor's fifth film, produced by Taodue, distributed by Medusa and directed for the first time by Zalone himself, reached 8.7 million euros on the first day in the cinema, becoming the highest-grossing film ever in history of Italian cinema in the first 24 hours of programming and beating the previous record of Quo Vado (7.3 million).

The film has been shown in about 200 theaters since after midnight on New Year's Eve and, overall, it is being programmed in over 1,200 Italian cinemas. "Checco Zalone brought the Italians together in the cinemas - comments the film's producer Pietro Valsecchi with satisfaction - an incredible result that makes me even happier because it rewards Checco's first work as director, a bet won not only for the takings but also for the success of the film, which has been able to entertain and excite adults and children beyond any ideological division. The new decade begins well for Italian cinema thanks to this injection of confidence and receipts that fall on the entire cinema system " .

BEAUTIFUL ". Then in another tweet: "8.8 million collection in one day! I think it's record! Bravo Luca!". And congratulations to Luca Medici also come from another excellent profile, that of director Gabriele Muccino: "Tolo Tolo opens his journey with 8.6 million euros on his first day. I don't think it has ever happened in the last fifty years. Congratulations to Luca Medici and Taodue. The cinema that makes you discuss, provokes, makes you think again and evolves, is good for everyone! ".
