to remember

We were expecting a duel between the tennis champion and the world famous singer. And the match turned out to be largely second-hand. Because the Amy Winehouse biopic leads the way in April 24th releases, with less than 50,000 admissions on Wednesday alone. There, where challengerswho took advantage of the review, finished at the foot of the podium, in front Never admit it and brothers.

Directed by Sam Taylor-Johnson, who has already explored John Lennon’s youth. Back black However, it had a less good debut than Bob Marley: One Love, which approached 200,000 viewers in one day. Like Bohemian Rhapsody in 2018. But the current holidays and upcoming bridges may allow him to keep up with the bill over time.

Behind the biography, three films are placed in a pocket handkerchief (barely 4,000 torn tickets separate the second from the fourth): the comedy Never Confess, the drama Brothers and, therefore, The Challengers. Who was less attractive in the provinces than his three predecessors.

But it’s enough to give its director, Luca Guadagnino, the best start in France (which he owes to the fact that it’s his most widely distributed film to date) and one last little favor from Zendaya before The Greatest Showman. Which, like Challengers, didn’t enjoy as many copies or the same aura with the general public as Spider-Man or Dune.

Will the film build on that departure and become his director’s biggest success in France, ahead of Call Me By Your Name’s 345,209 admissions? Answer in the coming weeks.

The deserter creates a surprise

lagging behind this leading quartet, First thing A little ahead of the wonder deserter, which offers one of the best per-copy averages for Wednesday, April 24, is notably better than Never Admit (74 vs. 72) in that regard. follow, again quite closely, old, Sky Dome 2123 or a thriller soul eater Carried by Virgin Ledoyen, who signs one of the lowest starts.
