  "account": "Hollywood had a pretty decent summer, but now it's starting to become exultant. Happy and sweaty —the heat wave has been relentless for weeks—, the cinema capital and its surroundings breathe easy after an achievement that calms its troubled waters, at least temporarily: the almost magical box office union of Odissey with the latest installment of Spider-Man. Hand in hand, they have managed to supply over $400 million to US box offices in just one weekend, especially thanks to the over $350 million of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, the best opening in US history. A winning combo that, in just three weeks, has grossed around $1.850 billion at the worldwide box office (over €1.600 billion). And more is expected. So Hollywood can keep breathing, which it desperately needs.",
  "summary": "The overwhelming income of 'La odisea' has joined that of the latest installment of 'Spider-Man' in an astral conjunction that makes the US and half the world's movie theaters breathe.",
