After scoring number one openings with "No Filter, " and "Do it Like an Hombre" in Chile and Mexico, Nicolas Lopez has topped Chilean charts again with "I'm Not Crazy. " Its stellar admissions numbers come as López is proving to be one of the biggest remake phenomenons in Latin America, with reversions of "No Filter" opening in Mexico, shooting in Spain and building to production in Argentina - with the later set to feature star Natalia Oreiro.
López told Variety that a Mexican remake of "I'm Not Crazy, " is already in the works, with leading indie production - distribution house Corazon Films producing. Netflix will handle U. S. distribution for the original Chilean version, a deal which furthers an already strong relationship between Lopez and the streaming giant, Netflix having released and co - financed "Sin Filtro. "
"I'm Not Crazy, " opened Jan. 4 in Chile, and launched to the top spot in the weekend's domestic box office with little resistance. By Wednesday, however, it will pass $1 million, a significant achievement for any Chilean film, and especially meaningful because "I'm Not Crazy" had a budget of only $800, 000, Lopez told Variety.
