Controversy
At the premiere of the film Miguel Barraza, the protagonist of the film, arrived in an apparent drunken state, where he began to insult Carlos Álvarez and Carlos Alcántara, overshadowing the preview of his film, and apparently scaring away potential viewers.[6] 5 years later Miguel Barraza admitted that he arrived drunk at the premiere of his film but said that it was the fault of the producer of the film who wanted Miguel to star in a scandal to attract people.[7][8] He also confessed that he was scammed, because he was never paid for his performance.[9]
Reception
On its first day it drew 11,000 spectators.[10] In its opening weekend it drew 40,500 viewers.[11] Throughout its time in theaters it attracted 96,500 spectators, a box office failure.[12]
