Once again, Callao was the scene of a fan frenzy. Hundreds of fans gathered outside our cinemas to welcome the stars of ‘Boulevard’, the film that brings to the big screen the young adult love story that originated on the Wattpad platform and has captivated millions of readers around the world.

At the photocall set up outside Cines Callao, the entire cast of the film, screenwriter Javier Ruescas, director Sonia Méndez, and the story’s author, Flor M. Salvador, posed for photos, along with many familiar faces who didn’t want to miss this premiere.

After the screening, held in both theaters, VIP guests enjoyed catering on our terrace, El Cielo de Callao, while scenes from the film were projected onto the large screen there and a DJ played music.

The film tells the story of the teenage romance between Halsey Weigel and Luke Howland, with a soundtrack that pays tribute to 80s and 90s rock. Its theme song, “Suenan como tú,” is performed by Mafalda Cardenal, who also attended the premiere.

Cines Callao was the venue chosen for the premiere of ‘Mejor vivir sin miedo’, the docuseries starring singer-songwriter Rosana Arbelo. An intimate and deeply personal project, in which the Canarian artist opens up without holding back, allowing us to get to know her beyond her role as a figure in the music world. As the singer explained during the screening in our iconic Theatre 1, the docuseries takes viewers on a journey through her origins and artistic career, with a focus on the philosophy of life that has shaped her career. The production, directed and written by Rosana herself, consists of three episodes and is available to watch on Prime Video.

An afternoon of movies and comedy at Cines Callao. As expected, the premiere of *Torrente, President* drew huge crowds to our theaters and the Plaza del Callao itself.

Directed and written by Paco León, “Aída y vuelta” deals with the filming of an episode of the series with plots that take place both within the fiction with the characters of “Aída” and outside it with the actors themselves and their relationships, which give rise to reflections on issues such as the limits of humour, the work of comedians and fame.

Atresmedia once again chose our venue, this time for the premiere of the series ‘Las hijas de la criada’ (The Maid’s Daughters), based on the novel of the same name by Sonsoles Ónega, which won the 2023 Planeta Prize.

Directed by Alejo Flah and Menna Fité, “Las hijas de la criada” is a drama set in the early 20th century, which offers a portrait of the era through the Valdés family saga. Doña Inés, matriarch of the saga and faithful wife of Don Gustavo, must survive heartbreak, the pain of abandonment and power struggles to make her true daughter the heir to an entire empire, at a time when women were not allowed to be masters of their own lives.

Cines Callao was the venue chosen for the premiere of “Flores para Antonio”, a moving documentary in which actress Alba Flores pays tribute to her father Antonio, 30 years after his death, through images of his life and conversations with his family and friends.

Many familiar faces attended the premiere of ‘Todos los lados de la cama’, the latest instalment in the iconic film series that began with El otro lado de la cama more than 20 years ago.

Director Samantha López and the cast, led by Ernesto Alterio, Pilar Castro, Lucía Caraballo, Jan Buxaderas and María Esteve, among others, were all in attendance.

The film, which was screened in our two theatres, recaptures the rebellious, romantic and musical spirit that defined the original, updating its perspective to reflect the new times. With choreography and songs inspired by Spanish pop hits, “Todos los lados de la cama” explores, with rhythm and humour, how ways of loving and living together have changed two decades after the first instalment.

There was a festive and magical atmosphere at the premiere of Now You See Me 3, the latest instalment in the successful suspense and magic saga, which took place at Cines Callao. Some of Spain’s most famous magicians, such as Yunke and Jorge Blas, did not want to miss the preview.

The screening was preceded by a magic show performed by three illusionists who performed several tricks with the collaboration of the audience. But not before dedicating a tribute and wishing a speedy recovery to a fourth colleague who was unable to perform with them in the show due to a traffic accident.

Nine years after the previous film, Now You See Me 3, directed by Ruben Fleischer, hits theatres with the original cast (Morgan Freeman, Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Dave Franco and Isla Fisher) and new characters, including Veronika Vanderberg, a high-flying villain played by Oscar nominee Rosamund Pike.
