to remember

On May 27, Justin Triet became the third director to win the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival, thanks to his relentless. Anatomy of a Fall. Two months later, and after enduring a futile controversy following his speech when he accepted the award, the director and his film debuted in French cinemas.

Better: With 55,382 admissions on its first day (and including previews), Anatomy of a Fall is pushing itself to the top of the charts this Wednesday, August 23. And signs the best start of the last ten years at the Palme d’Or.

Ahead of Parasite, whose excellent score was further benefited by the 17,842 viewers who came to discover Bong Joon-ho’s thriller in previews, with the release coming days after its Cannes triumph.

The top 10 newcomers of the last Palme d’Or

1 – Anatomy of the Fall (2023) : 55,382 entries

2 – Parasite (2019) : 54,941 records

3 – The Life of Adele (2013): 49,720 admissions

4 – No Filter (2022): 36,565 entries

7 – Stadium (2017): 22,277 admissions

8 – Family Matters (2018): 21,189 admissions

9 – Titan (2021): 12,600 admissions (Note: prohibited for children under 16 and released a few days before receiving the Palme d’Or)

10 – Winter Sleep (2014): 11,115 admissions

Anatomy of the Fall does a little better than that Adele’s life, with which it has other similarities, such as its very long duration (2h30 for Justin Triet, 2h57 for Abdellatif Kechiche) or the fact of being at the center of the controversy. In the case of a much louder film starring Léa Seydoux and Adele Exarchopoulos.

If the latest Palme d’Or follows a similar course to La Vie d’Adèle and Parasite, it can hope to finish well beyond a million. Which, by far, would be his best directorial score, with the record now held by Victoria and her 657,487 viewers.

Two thrillers fill the podium behind the Palm, which cannot be scored. And his hypnotic by Robert Rodriguez and Ben Affleck, also presented at Cannes (but at the midnight screening), which precedes compensation By Nimrod Antal and Liam Neeson. With more copy, sure, but a better average per screen.

For Robert Rodriguez, it’s the ninth best opening of his career, ahead of Machete Kills but behind Spy Kids 2 . Although Liam Neeson does better than Blacklight and Ice Road, his two previous muscle releases.

in his rearview mirror, The Last Voyage of Demetrius Confirms, after Renfield, that Dracula lost his bite in the Dark Rooms. Inspired by one chapter of Bram Stoker’s novel, it attracted just 10,414 horror fans. Maybe handicapped, like a movie with Nicolas Cage, by not having the name of the vampire king in the title.

In the rest of the rating, we note a rare fact: two films have the same record, exactly 315. But penetrated He achieved this without the slightest revision and is therefore ahead Ghosts of Istanbul.

Figures: CBO – box office
