to remember

The first leader at the French box office in 2024 was named Wonka. The last one is called Mufasa. Released on December 18, The Lion King prequel retains its throne and crown for the second week in a row and has the luxury, like many films in the top 10, of attracting more viewers than its predecessor, the holiday effect being obligatory.

At the gong, Barry Jenkins’ film joins France’s top 10 hits of the year as it already has more than 2.5 million viewers. Which, however, remains a quarter of the final total of the original (both the animated version and the live-action remake), and that puts its success into perspective.

Mufasa, however, manages to resist the lightning start Sonic 3which takes second place in the ranking and becomes the twenty-third and last film of 2024 to cross the million viewer mark by December 31st. Unlike the Disney studio feature film, the new Sega video game adaptation is doing better than its predecessors, which were around 750,000 at the end of the first week.

None of them were released in time for the Christmas holidays, of course, but Sonic 3 has all the cards to end its run with a Saga entry in its pocket. Waiting for the fourth part, already announced, to come and compete.

on the side MoanaIt is already folded. The second opus outsold the first during the holiday season, passing the 7 million milestone on Wednesday, January 1st. According to observers, a streak of 8 is possible, but it remains to be seen whether it will manage to match the score of 2024’s third-biggest hit, Vice Versa 2 (8,427,652 tickets scratched), or stay at the bottom. from the podium.

A podium that this week largely dominates his pursuers. With more than 600,000 entries separating third, Moana 2, and fourth, with fanfare. which continues its very good run, down +20% from the period of December 18th to 24th, and now reaches a total of 1,609,974 viewers. The 2 million mark is in sight and could be crossed before mid-January.

Even if they finish behind under the nut this week Conclave and twenty gods Continue to impress, +32% for the first, which looks to be well on its way to a million, and +44% for the second, which will cross the 500,000 login mark. A success like The Story of Suleiman, which also marks a good year for French cinema.

at the bottom of the ranking, Nosferatu Of course it starts at the ninth position (only 7 records less Never without my therapist), but offers an average audience close to Vaiana 2 (but with a very different audience). and evil It’s doing well, with less success than in the US, as might be expected given that the musical is little known here, but already has more than 700,000 viewers.
