A few weeks before Christmas, animation is celebrating (a little) at the French box office. released on November 29, Wish – Asha and Lucky Star It logically took the lead in the ratings and gathered 628,897 viewers, including previews. Which is certainly better than Encanto, which was released in a more difficult context for cinemas.

But we’re a long way from Frozen (862,291 admissions in 2013) and its sequel (2,137,267 in 2019), the other Disney Christmas releases in French cinemas. Pixar proved it this summer with Elementary , though: A lot of animated movies are made over time, and the holidays might give Wish a chance to refuel. and make clearer conclusions in January.

At the same time, Hayao Miyazaki is getting a little closer to his French record, which should be broken in the coming days: The boy and the heron (1,448,366 entries to date) is only from Ponyo on the Rock (1,464,473), who resisted abdication for over a month.

as Napoleon, which remained the box office leader for just one week, and was not expected to overtake Ridley Scott’s record, which was still held by Gladiator with its 4,733,174 tickets pulled. But this biopic, directed by Joaquin Phoenix and Vanessa Kirby, becomes his thirteenth million-selling opus in France. And it could surpass scores of American Gangsters, Kingdom of Heaven and Alien Covenant, even a speech, in the coming days.

Of the ten films in this weekly ranking in which Hunger games Also crossed the million mark, there are five new releases. And in addition to desire, it is ribbons Who plays the best in the game. The aura of the book from which it is inspired, Laetitia Colombani’s feature film climbs to the third step of the podium, far ahead It’s time for love and perfect days. But the latter, which won the Best Actor prize at Cannes 2023, offers the second-best average week per copy.

Released same day in our theaters last November 8th, Abbot’s Stone and Marvels Continue to suffer similar fates: both lost 41% from last week, and now it’s impossible to see them hitting the million mark, even though they were meant to, given their potential.
