Le “Winx” guidano la carica dei film italiani al botteghino

“Il cinema italiano è vivo e sta bene. A dispetto delle continue celebrazioni di funerali e messe da requiem, le pellicole di casa nostra continuano a far registrare record di incassi al botteghino e a monopolizzare gli spettatori.

Campione del week-end è, come ampiamente previsto, il film di animazione «Winx Club - Il segreto del regno perduto» che ha incassato in due giorni poco meno di due milioni di euro, come si legge dai dati Cinetel. Il film di Iginio Straffi, merito di una distribuzione massiccia (600 sale), è stato visto da oltre 340mila persone.”

Winx club the Movie - Il segreto del Regno Perduto è il primo film dedicato alle winx e uscirà nelle sale italiane il 30 Novembre (all’estero nei primi mesi del 2008..).
Il film è stato prodotto dalla Rainbow CGI, una costola della Rainbow spa con sede a Roma, co-prodotto da Rai Fiction, e sarà distribuito da 01 Distribution.
La storia racconta la più difficile e impegnativa delle sfide che le sei fate abbiano mai affrontato. Da essa dipende addirittura il destino dell’intera Dimensione Magica!!! (..ahahahahah..)
Bloom e le sue amiche dovranno superare una serie di ostacoli alla ricerca di un antico mistero rimasto sepolto nel tempo. Il “segreto” menzionato nel titolo permetterà a tutte le fan delle Winx di scoprire le vere origini di questo fantastico mondo.
