Something extra : Artus’ comedy surpasses 3 million!
For his first feature film as director, Limb it was strong. With Something extra, the actor and comedian is achieving phenomenal success that could hardly have been predicted. Even the author of him would have had difficulty convincing some producers to follow him for this comedy which highlights a lot people with disabilities. The film follows a robber who, to escape the police, takes refuge in a summer camp for young adults with disabilities, and pretends to be one of them, while his father and accomplice pretends to be his specialized educator.
Artus’ approach is intended to be benevolent and affirmative at the same time the desire to laugh at everythingas he explained to us in an interview: “If we don’t have the right to laugh about it, it’s already a taboo and we’re already putting them asideAnd it has visibly borne fruit since its release on May 1st, Something extra It’s a real cartoon. A success that continues in a surprising way after three weeks of operation.
In fact, if attendance generally decreases as the weeks go by, the opposite happened for Artus’ film. As the site announces BoxOfficePro, the feature film garnered 330,000 additional viewers on May 19th alone. “OR 23% more than its record performance when it comes out Wednesday May 1st“, which allowed the film to pass easily the milestone of 3 million subscribers.
Harder Asterix and Obelix: The Middle Kingdom ?
As confirmed by Julien Marcel, general director ofAlloCiné AND The box office companysuch progress is simply exceptional, because it is rare to see it “a film advances after the first week“, and even more so who realizes”a record attendance for one day of the third week“. Nowadays, Something extra has accumulated 3,433,799 registrations, getting 1,310,277 in the week of May 15-21. Which allows us to assume that the film will not end there and should break several records.
First of all, he will have no problem becoming one the greatest success for a first workin front of The heartthrob and its 3.7 million entries. Then it should also become one the biggest hit of the yearas this title is currently held by Duna: second part, which attracted 4.1 million viewers. Finally, a third record could be set by Something extra. If it surpasses 4.6 million in revenue (very likely), the Artus movie will become the most watched French film since the pandemicin front of Asterix and Obelix: The Middle Kingdom.
To try to explain this monumental success, Sylvain Bethenod, director of the research company Vertigo, evokes several elements, including the film’s ability to “reach all age groups, from children to the elderly“. We also note excellent word of mouth as the film seems to have unanimous public approval, with an average rating of 4.3/5 on AlloCiné.
It is difficult to say how far Artus’ comedy will go, although, according to forecasts, should exceed 5 million tickets sold. A success that places him alongside other phenomena. Recall that in 2023 the biggest hits at the French box office were Super Mario Bros. the film (7.3 million) e Barbie (6 million). To see if Something extra it will go that far.
