The first two film installments were successful at the international box office, reaching nearly US$500 million.
The third installment of the Peruvian bear movie will find its main character returning to his native country to visit his beloved Aunt Lucy, who now resides at the Home for Retired Bears.
Paddington and the Brown family will embark on an unexpected journey through the Amazon jungle to the mountain peaks of Peru.
Heritage preservation
In order to contribute to the movie's success, the
DDC in Cusco ensured the proper development of the filming, safeguarding all spaces and archaeological monuments in the area.
Thus, within the conditions for granting authorization, compliance with security measures was ensured, such as restriction on entry to vulnerable areas; proper use of equipment, thus preventing it from being placed on the citadel's architectural structure; and supervision in the use of drones for filming.
The
Ministry of Culture reaffirms its commitment to the development of cinema and audiovisual sectors, promoting and facilitating movie productions in our country, positioning Peru as an attractive filming destination for international production companies.
This is done in strict balance with the care and respect for the country's tangible and intangible heritage, ensuring that any international production carries out activities without affecting the spaces where they are developed.
