With more than 300,000 releases in one week, “Avatar” topped three new releases at the French box office. Impressive figures for the re-release are a good sign as the sequel is expected in December.
Box Office from September 21 to September 27, 2022: Top 10
to remember
The residents of Pandora are blue, but the lights are green for the Avatar. With 335,359 releases in one week, the James Cameron feature topped the weekly box office. No, you’re not (re)reading an article from late 2009: It’s September 2022 and the debate is dominated by the release of the greatest hits of all time.
and far away Which means that even if you remove the audience who went to the theaters to discover the expected sequel on December 14 in France, the restored version of Avatar still took the lead. The film proves that there is still a lot of enthusiasm for it, despite the debate that regularly blooms on the Internet about it, and this huge success should convince the exhibitors about the potential of the 2nd episode, called “Water Road”.
Virginia aired twice
James Cameron’s Na’Vi, Dany Boon and Line Renaud’s La Belle course tied for second place, with the highest ratio of Paris/provincial films in the weekly top 10. Knowing that the higher this figure, which calculates the ratio between the number of tickets sold in the capital and its suburbs and the rest of France, the more the feature film attracts people outside of Paris.
That’s what happens with Danny Boone in the game, and Christian Carrion’s new opus with 7.86 odds is no exception. But the actor is proving his struggles at the box office with films he doesn’t direct, as the film grossed less than Le Dindon, which was a flop. In a context more favorable to cinemas and with a much higher budget, of course.
Still on the podium, don’t worry dear, starting with a good average per print (425 on 356 screens) Another news ahead: other people’s children. Any of the two Virgin TV movies we find in this rating. Rebecca Zlotowski’s feature is right up there with Revoir Paris, sixth this week and managing a 3% increase in attendance compared to last week.
Despite the difficult subject matter inspired by the attacks of November 13, 2015, Alice Winokur’s film has amassed 375,320 viewers today and should end its run at over 500,000. A stage that Kompromat, the deposed leader, will overcome in the coming days, especially. If it continues to show the same stability from week to week.
Brad Pitt in high gear
Elsewhere in the rankings, The Visitor from the Future is closing in on the 300,000 viewer mark that Everything Everywhere At Once (thirteenth this week) recently reached. And the Bullet Train has now attracted more than 1.5 million people on board. That makes it only the sixteenth biggest hit of Brad Pitt’s career in France, after Ocean’s 13. But the best score among the August 2022 releases.
