The movie has become one of the most successful Mexican movies ever; in its 5th week it had earned 108 million pesos

So India has Dabangg which cost about a million billion rupees to make and doubled that in its first hour. I highly recommend Dabangg.
Mexico has Top Cat The Movie
Which has the same animation quality as a commercial for Honey Nut Cheerios. And without actually bothering to do any calculation I decree that these are per-capita equivalents.
Picture a box. It's dusty and old and spackled with graffiti and salsa, taco shells line the streets. The crack of fireworks thunder nearby. To escape from the heat and phosphorous, you enter the box through a curtain protected doorway. Inside is dark and cool but you feel comfortable. The popping of children blowing their faces off dwindles in the darkness. Your feet find mottled shag carpet, and after an eternity a box office gently lights into view ahead. There is no attendant, nothing but an old pile of dust and a copy of LOS TACOS MUCHACHOS magazine, your favourite quarterly. You reach through, pick up the magazine and a slip of paper falls out. It's a ticket that reads Don Gato y su Pandilla: EL MOVIE. A shuffling noise behind you bringsyour gaze upon a snackbar materializing out of the din. A plastic container of nachos and a large soft drink dripping with condensation await you and your sudden hunger and thirst. You shovel a cheesy pile of nachos into your mouth and enjoy the hearty, gravy-like coolness of Salsa Soda. The way to the theatre opens and you wander into the darkness again, warmed by nacho cheese and fueled with savoury soda. You come upon a dimly lit door with a steel outcropping on it. You feed your ticket into the machine and the door unlocks. You're sure you've walked the length of the box several times over before a brilliant white light momentarily blinds you and nachos spill on the floor. A shielding hand reveals that you're standing in front of the screen. You can't tell where a free seat is and movie away from the screen, but the blinding light constantly seems to fill your eyes. You stumble around disoriented and tumble into a seat. In the dark of the theatre you can't tell who the people sitting next to you are but you quickly forget about them as the movie starts. As it progresses, you notice the characters seeming to steal glances at the camera once in awhile, darting there eyes right or left for a split second. The score descends into a series of hollow tones and banging noises and the animation quality deteriorates rapidly around the 3rd act. You notice that Top Cat has all but disappeared from the film. The other characters all look off model and their voices warble and morph in your ears. And without conclusion, the movie stops and the lights come on. The crowd is quiet, and you finally look to your right and AAAAAAH A SKELETON!
