It’s in the oldies… This Saturday, November 10, the broadcast of “La Grande Vadrouille” was a hit on France 2, attracting 4.73 million moviegoers. The comedy directed by Gérard Oury in 1966 brought together 26.6% of the public present in front of his station. The feature film does even better than “November” by Cédric Jimenez, scheduled last Sunday: the film on the investigation into the attacks of November 13 (with Jean Dujardin, Sandrine Kiberlain, Anaïs Demoustier, etc.) attracted 4.23 million viewers .
La Deux therefore takes first place in the audience rankings. Faced with Bourvil and Louis de Funès, Pixar’s yellow heroes in blue overalls pale in comparison on TF 1: “Minions 2: Once upon a time Gru” “only” amuses 2.18 million animation fans ( 11.7% audience share). The comedy which had recorded 3.9 million cinema admissions in 2022 was nevertheless unprecedented on a free-to-air channel.
France 3 still in the top three
France 3 comes just behind in third position with “Les Enquêtes de Dan Sommerdahl”. The Danish detective series intrigues 2.03 million thriller fans (10.9% market share), almost the same score as last Sunday. On M 6, the magazine “Zone Interdicted” presented by Ophélie Meunier captivated 1.79 million people (10.2% of the public). The show this Sunday focused on “work, renovation, decoration: a new home without moving”.
Finally, 1960s cinema is in full swing on a channel other than TF 1: with “The Great Escape”, a war drama by John Sturges with Steve McQueen and Charles Bronson released in 1963, Arte attracted 1 million moviegoers (6, 2% audience share). France 5 comes in sixth place with the documentary “Zelensky, the price of resistance”, which brought together 695,000 curious people (3.7% market share).
