Some have compared it to the series The Rain of Netflix. Others didn’t like it and made it known. And still others did not want to go to the dark rooms to discover it, due to lack of interest. In any case, the conclusion is there: Acidby Just Philippot with Guillaume Canet, was not successful in France.
Released in cinemas on September 20, 2023, the science fiction film with the 51-year-old actor has barely exceeded 200,000 admissions. As a reminder, Just Philippot’s project was an adaptation of the eponymous short film released in 2018.
Disappointment for “Acid” with Guillaume Canet
The film told the story of “Selma, 15 years old”, who grows up between her two separated parents, Michal and Élise. “Clouds of acidic and devastating rain are falling on France. In a world that will soon sink, this fractured family will have to come together to face this climatic catastrophe and try to escape it”indicated in fact our colleagues fromAllocinated.
Whether fans of the 7th art no longer want to see apocalyptic films, whether the casting is not suitable, or whether the communication has not been important enough, in all cases, the French have obviously not been on board. However, this is not the case for Peru.
Huge success in Peru
Indeed, on the other side of the Atlantic, Guillaume Canet and Just Philippot are a hit with their film and have even broken a record held since 2008 in the country as relayed by Unifrance. The association dedicated to the promotion of French cinema and television content around the world has just announced great news for Acid.
“With 223,000 entries, “Acide” by Just Philippot becomes the biggest French success in French in Peru since 2008! “Acide” now has 546,000 tickets sold internationally (€1.75 million in BO), half of which in Latin America.indicate our colleagues.
Despite a failure in France, the apocalyptic film visibly appeals abroad. Excellent news for Guillaume Canet, the director, as well as the entire team behind the project.
