"I'm Not Crazy" was Lopez's third film to open at issue one in Chile last January, surpassing international successes like "Wonder Woman", "Justice League" and "Coco" during their first weekends in Chile. "No Filter", co-financed by Netflix, has been redone in Mexico, Spain and Argentina, among other territories.

"On the other hand, we believe that it is necessary that all this be revealed and I hope that these complaints will be brought before the public prosecutor and that they will be subject to a judicial process ", he added.
Lawyer Juan Pablo Hermosilla who represents some of the women, said, "This is a case that will be reflected because we have a director who works in the United States and who produces for the North American market, we will not only apply Chilean legal standards, but also in North America.And that is why Netflix and any other company present in the United States are in a complicated position: they can not sponsor or support a misbehavior. Abuse or ill-treatment of artists. "
Chilean actress Leonor Varela (" Blade II, "" Dallas ") said on Twitter:" All my support for these brave actresses. Although – contrary to what has been said – you have never touched me, it is time to put an end to this kind of infamous behavior. "
