It’s already the biggest blockbuster of 2024 and it’s not over yet! This weekend, the Artus-directed film A Little Something Plus crossed the 5 million mark. It’s now well ahead of Dune 2, which had the highest score to date in France earlier this year.
How to explain this success? When we contacted its distributor a month ago, he told us, “It is my firm belief that this solar film radiates the love Artus has for all these actors. No audience is left indifferent, they spend a happy time with this team and share it in packed rooms in a communion typical of the cinema!“. And added: “The regional public’s appetite for comedies and popular films is undeniable and systematically tested..”
Word of mouth is great, especially in the region. And as mentioned BFMTV, in an article dedicated to the film’s regional successIt is this influx that is causing the entry rates to increase day by day.
“In the districts there is a natural order of reception of films“, David Beaudry, the film’s distributor, points out to our colleagues at BFMTV.We watch movies as they come, without preconceived notions. And when the film starts working, it works everywhere. We are going to find viewers who are not regular cinema goers.”
Looking at the figures reported by the CBO Box-office site, the film’s Paris admissions represent less than 10% of the total. As of May 29, entries represented 345,000 entries in Paris, out of a total of 4.5 million*.
guest of the show On Quelle Epoque France 2Singer Jans, the hit singer from the movie “Clic Clic Pan Pan”, commented on the success: “It speaks to me because deep France is much more attentive than big cities like Paris, Lyon… This is a film that speaks to rural people like me. I come from the provinces, from a village near Metz. The real audience comes from deep France and the provinces.“”It is a very beautiful film that sends a very beautiful message.“, he emphasizes.
During the Cannes Film Festival, AlloCiné accompanied the film crew before and after climbing the stage. We invite you to familiarize yourself with the above report.
In addition, Little Things is a sunny and touching comedy with actors with disabilities. Almost 30 years after Le Huitième jour, a film starring Daniel Ott and Pascal Duquesne that deeply impressed and touched the public of the time, Un p’tit truc en plus continues on this path, finding a balance between humor, emotion and above. All the great good that can awaken the conscience.
