to remember

The year is 2023. It dominates all the box offices of the world Barbie. everyone? No! Because little mustaches in France are at odds again and again: Super Mario Bros. Dropped in the United States and around the planet, the animated film remains the biggest success of the year in France, with a good attack from Greta Gerwig, who recently won the field.

With 450,250 additional downloads (and a drop of only 27% from last week), Barbie is now on the verge of 5 million downloads in France. and took advantage of these final days to advance Asterix & Obelix: The Middle Empire. If it remains the biggest success of 2023 in his country of France, the Guillaume Canet signed opus is now the third, of all nationalities combined.

Can he now fall off the podium? Another summer phenomenon, Oppenheimer, now has 3,690,892 viewers. Which is already big in itself. But he would need a million extra entries to beat the famous Gauls. It sounds complicated on paper, but who would have predicted that Christopher Nolan’s new feature film would go this far?

If it succeeds, it will also mean it beats The Dark Knight Rises as Christopher Nolan’s biggest hits in France. And that it won’t be far from Inception, its record with us, about five million viewers.

For now, the film about the father of the atomic bomb holds second place, ahead of the quartet held in a pocket handkerchief. Because 20,000 entries separate the third from the sixth. This is Aces of the Jungle 2 which imposes itself, the first opus released in 2017 with a high score. And wins the news battle. blue beetle (262,703 admissions vs. 239,733), proving its difficulties.

Follow the millionaire In very rough waters, which can still hope to reach the 1,622,161 viewers of the first opus. and Grand tourism which has overtaken Chap in the ratings for Neill Blomkamp’s films in France, but will have a hard time matching the record held by Elysium and its 1,517,597 admission.

In the rest of the ranking, Mission: Impossible – Dead Score beat Ghost Protocol’s score and can hope to overtake Rogue Nation by the end of its run. But Fallout’s score of three million seems difficult to achieve.

And while Yannick is still well positioned to become Quentin Dupierre’s biggest hit, ahead of the incredible but real (317,394 admissions compared to 260,955 on his last birthday), Les Déguns 2 is approaching half a million viewers and thus It is already better than the first opus.
