Until 2008, 'Dois Filhos de Francisco' used to be considered the second biggest audience of a Brazilian film (after the 1976 film 'Dona Flor and Her Two Husbands'). In 2009, the blockbuster 'Se Eu Fosse Voc 2', starring Tony Ramos and Glria Pires, replaced 'Dois Filhos de Francisco' as the second biggest audience among the Brazilian films.
