to remember

“You know, I don’t believe there is a good or bad situation,” said Edward Baer in his famous monologue Asterix & Obelix – Mission Cléopatre. And this answer may apply Horror 3 with a word “ad”. Although his distributor regretted the under-18 ban and feared it would hurt his career in theaters, the opposite happened.

Damien Leone’s horror movie attracted 45,012 curious people in one day. Without any hindsight and knowing that Terrifier 2 had 70,939 viewers in its entire career. Therefore, it seems that everything is ready for this third opus to suffer the same fate as Saw III, the best score of his saga in France, despite the fact that it was also banned for people under 18.

We’ll just have to see how word of mouth carries the film, beyond the curiosity effect and guilty pleasures, but Terrifier 3 is in second place among new releases for Wednesday, October 9. It is far behind the much more family friendly A wild robot From Dreamworks, which has the twelfth best start of 2024, ahead of Joker: Folie à deux.

Bolstered by the 89,066 viewers who came to discover (and cry?) at the previews, Chris Sanders’ latest baby also made a name for itself on October 9 alone. But very few, with 45,556 entries compared to Terrifier 3’s 45,012, which offers a better average per copy (357 compared to 200) and shows where we least expected it. Like Art the Clown.

Cinemas also saw three biopics this week. And there was no photo when choosing the winner, except on the screen, because it was Lee MillerOn the photographer of the same name, played by Kate Winslet, who wins and stands on the third step of the podium. with a higher score than them Apprentice (on Donald Trump) and Nick (Nikki de Saint Phalle) merged.

Both have made it to the recent Cannes Film Festival, with the latter ahead of them The story of SuleimanWhich is off to a rather encouraging start, has a better per-screen average than Lee Miller and will no doubt benefit from good word of mouth. And a new movie based on the anime My hero is the Academywhich confirms the franchise rating.
