to remember

If he crowned himself during his lifetime, it was French society that raised him Napoleon On the throne this Wednesday, November 22nd. Given its potential, without much surprise, Ridley Scott’s new feature starring Joaquin Phoenix and Vanessa Kirby leads this week’s releases with 128,840 admissions in 743 prints. It’s the author’s best start since 2017’s Alien: Covenant.

Napoleon has the nineteenth best start to 2023 across the French film year. Albert Dupontel’s run-off (126,044 attendees) and Eric Toledano and Olivier Nakache (121,598) from more previews than a difficult year ago (121,598), where Ridley Scott’s film didn’t draw “this” 8,626 viewers during several sessions organized before the release.

If his journey through this ranking of the top starters of 2023 is similar to that of the films around him, Napoleon can hope to finish his career between 1 and 1.5 million receivers. If he achieves that score, it will be his best since Mars Alone. But it all depends on how the Christmas fun continues next week.

Ridley Scott and Joaquin Phoenix are very far behind, Delphine Deloge and Virgin Efira take the second place in the rating. After receiving the longest standing ovation at the recent Cannes Film Festival, this drama about a mother’s battle to retain custody of her children attracted 15,226 viewers. Which is better than Madeleine Collins, but less good than the actress’ other recent films.

It also passed the 2023 Cannes Film Festival (but at the Beach Cinema) before getting more noticed in Annecy. Mars Express stands on the third step of the podium. Of course, he made half of his notes during the preview. But with fewer copies than I’m not a hero (fourth with 8,714 admissions) and very good reviews, allowing this animated and sci-fi film to enjoy a more adult tone.

In the rest of the rankings, Valerie Lemercier draws 4,072 viewers on board. Ark of the Covenant By Brian Marciano (creator of the Twenty Five series and brother of Anthony, director of Play). And 2,737 curious people went to see the film debut of singer Pom, whose real name is Claire Pommet, the headliner. Silver Venus.
