to remember

to overcome the demon Nun 2Therefore, not an exorcist was necessary, but… artificial intelligence. Which is not surprising, since the topic is currently raging in Hollywood, both on screen and behind the scenes. But The creator That’s why it beat out the latest spin-off from the Conjuring saga to make its debut in French theaters.

With 262,507 attendances since its release, Gareth Edwards’ new feature is already better than his Monsters total (67,514 in 2010).

But it’s a far cry from Godzilla (720,996) and Rogue One (1,798,117), its Star Wars spin-off. Two films that, admittedly, benefited from their sagas.

Leader for two weeks in a row, La Nonne 2 has lost ground, but is slowly approaching a million receptions. A milestone that only two Conjuringverse opuses have not reached in France (Annabelle 3 and The Curse of the White Lady). Michael Chavez’s film shouldn’t be part of it, but it will be hard to match the previous episode’s 1,394,105 viewers.

In a ranking where four new releases manage to hold their own (the fifth, Woody Allen’s Coup de Chance, narrowly misses the top 10), The Nun 2 holds its own. and take it forward Dogmanwhich marks one of the worst starts of Luc Besson’s career (and the lowest since 1994, CBO – Box-Office had no earlier releases of his films).

Difficult start for Frank Dubosky and Karin Viar too. Despite their combined box office potential, New beginning in which they respond to each other is disappointing, despite a higher number of copies than between the members of the leading trio.

With only 35% fewer entries compared to last week, Secret in Venice It tolerates well. Even if it’s hard to find scores for Kenneth Branagh’s two previous Agatha Christie adaptations, Murder on the Orient Express (1,464,983) and Death on the Nile (874,086).

But a good surprise is coming to us The Goldman trial. Despite its dry form, which could put off more than one person, 110,011 viewers went (again) to immerse themselves in this brilliantly told affair. That gives a Cedric Kahn film one of the best per-copy averages and allows it to do better than Dogman, New Beginnings, or The Nun 2 in that regard, but less well than The Creator.

Goldman Trial actor Arthur Harar has his second film in the top 10 this week: Anatomy of a Fallthe Palme d’Or at the last Cannes Film Festival, which he co-wrote (except for a small appearance on the stage of the literary program).

With 1,150,725 entries to date, Justin Triet’s feature is already better than La Vie d’Adèle and Othello among the winners. And should surpass Dancer in the Dark and Les Parapluies de Cherbourg in the coming weeks.
