"Miracles from Heaven" became a box office success this past weekend, showing that faith-based film continues to draw audiences, but also that Eugenio Derbez still has strong selling power. The opening of $15 million was due in part to the diversity of the film and its great marketing strategy.
To say that writer, director, editor, producer and actor Eugenio Derbez is a jack of all-trades would be an understatement.
He's known most recently for his record-breaking box office smash, "Instructions Not Included," which became the most successful Spanish-language film ever in the U.S. and worldwide - it also raked in over $100M.
Spanish-language celebrities who’ve found popularity among Latino audiences before transitioning to the Hollywood scene know that this success can take years.
