to remember

The US suggested it, and France proves it: there’s still room for Tim Burton at the box office. Of course, Beetlejuice’s love ratings played a role, and there’s no denying that Jenna Ortega’s notoriety, largely acquired thanks to Wednesday, had an impact. But from there to signing the ninth-best opening day in France in 2024?

With its 187,072 admissions (which gives it mostly 108,827 viewers who came to previews), BeetlejuiceBeetlejuice did better than Retirement Home 2 and worse than Bob Marley’s One Love , which ended their respective runs with 1.5 million and 2 million ticket rips. Thus, the feature film can hope to end up in the same waters, placing it above the 628,458 of the first opus, at a time when the director was not so identified by the general public.

But where Beetlejuice Beetlejuice hits hard (and surprises, let’s be honest) is when it gives Tim Burton the third best start of his career. Batman Before (181,737) and Alice in Wonderland (251,672) and Planet of the Apes (358,671) – three feature films that drew between 2.1 and 4.5 million viewers. Will this opus follow in their footsteps or remain in the time travel set in 2024? Answer in the coming weeks.

Leader at 9am in Les Halles, then in Paris at 2pm, wire Daniel O’Teil has finally given up on Beetlejuice and his ghosts. But this legal drama, in which we find Gregory Gadebois, Alyssa Bellaid and Sidse Babette Knudsen, is a good start, the average is higher than one copy. Dog Trial.

Given the little fanfare that accompanied it at the end of its presentation at the recent Cannes Film Festival, we expected the film, directed by Letizia Doche, to be a little more bittersweet, despite having fewer copies than Le Fille. But word of mouth may allow it to take hold over time, and in the meantime, the feature film is ahead of the Golden Bear at the recent Berlin festival. DahomeyWhich starts off a bit better than Atlantique, his director Matti Diop’s previous film.

Dahomey wins ahead foreign languageIndian action movie kill him and a feature film adaptation of the animated series Flint and the city. Let us note here that 177 records have been included in this ranking Johnny got the gunIn 1971 he signed Dalton Trumbo.
