Dany Boon no longer generates box office revenue
Dany Boon is an iconic figure in French cinema, known for his popular comedies that dominated the box office for several years. His greatest triumph remains without a doubt Welcome to the Ch’ti released in 2008. This film attracted more than 20.4 million viewers in Francebecoming after that the second biggest success in the history of French cinema Titanic.
The rest of his career confirmed his status as the king of French comedy. In 2011, Nothing to declarea comedy about tensions between French and Belgian customs officers, brought together nearly 8 million viewers in France, the second biggest hit of 2011 behind Untouchable.
Superchondriacreleased in 2014, was also a huge success with over 5.2 million viewers, as was Raid Dingue! released three years later, which attracted four and a half million viewers. These successive successes established Dany Boon as a sure value of the French box officecapable of attracting millions of viewers with his films.
