to remember

Given the enthusiasm it generated at the recent Cannes Film Festival, where it walked away with the screenplay prize, substance It was one of the events of this week. He did not miss his debut, climbing to the second step of the podium with a score that combines his records during the day of November 6 and in the preview, the vast majority organized around Halloween.

Coralie Fargit thus achieved the triple score with Revenge, her first film (released in less than 200 copies). And it ends far away Louise VioletA historical non-biographical film starring Alexandra Lam, packed in previews, where it scored more than 80% of the total score and especially attracted people outside the capital, because its Paris/province is 45. Which means that in the rest of France 45- More space has already been purchased than in the Paris region.

There is no substance next to it “this” From 4.26. But let’s start with the fact that it’s a scary, ultra-sad feature film with a warning not for children under 12 and a running time of 2 hours and 20 minutes. Which diminishes his potential with the general public, but makes his score all the more impressive.

Similarly, in another register, ofWork hard!A new documentary by François Ruffin and Gilles Perret. Also helped well by the preview, the feature film is in straight third position, ahead of films such as three friends and at full speed Which on paper, above all, precedes it. This was not the case, and Opus drew nearly 5,000 spectators on November 6 alone, more than double that of Debout les femmes!, the duo’s previous production.

which finally, and in a more challenging context for cinemas, attracted 142,305 people in October 2021. If you work! Proving its good start, it could turn into a huge success on its scale. Unlike all speed, which, despite the presence of Pio Marmay, Jose Garcia and Tsami Haidara, starts from the fifth position.

It falls far short of the very stable Emmanuel More, as his Trois Amies are very similar to the start of Mademoiselle de Jonquière and Chronique d’un liaison passée. That puts him third on the personal list in that regard, and it matches the title number.

And finally, it didn’t help to walk away without promotion, herewhich marked the reunion of Robert Zemeckis with the duo of Forrest Gump (Tom Hanks and Robin Wright), attracted only 3,292 people. His directorial worst start of the 21st century, so far.
