Controversy
On February 27, 2024, during a screening of the film in a cinema in San Juan de Miraflores, a fan lit a flare that activated the security protocols by the cinema staff.[6] Due to this dangerous action, the film was withdrawn from the national cinema chains and the distribution plans for the film in provinces were cancelled.[7][8]
