It’s THE surprise box office hit. With almost 8 million admissions, Artus is a hit thanks to the comedy “Un P’tit truc en plus”. He takes his revenge and tackles those who did not want to help him at the start.
You have to believe that Artus really has a little something extra… And the financiers didn’t necessarily suspect that! While he imagined a film which tells the story of a father and his son who, to escape the police, find refuge in a summer camp for young adults with mental disabilities, the comedian does not I didn’t expect such success, but those who finance cinema even less so. And yet, the box office proves the opposite.

“A little something extra”: the success that proves the skeptics wrong
Guest of Laurent Delahousse, on France 2, in 8:30 p.m. on SundayArtus reacted to the crazy success of his latest film, A little something extra, with notably Clovis Cornillac. “What surprises me is that it goes against everything I was told when I tried to finance it, telling myself that people wouldn’t be interested in it, that they didn’t want to see these people with a little something extra on a big screen. So it comforts me in the idea that I had, that I think that yes, people want it” Artus responded.
No doubt, the 36-year-old actor and comedian, who took his team to the last Cannes Film Festival, was right to believe in his project. A little something extra has just entered the top 100 biggest hits in the history of the French box office with already 8 million spectators on the clock. Forecasts predict an end of career of around 10 million.
The authenticity of the actors: Artus’s requirement
Invited alongside his disabled actors, Marie Colin, Ludovic Boul and Arnaud Toupense, Artus expressed his gratitude for the enthusiasm generated by this film.It’s already completely crazy, it’s… We don’t even know what to say anymore, it’s so crazy what’s happening“, he declared to Laurent Delahousse. The secret of his success? The authenticity of the actors. In fact, the eleven actors were all cast before the end of writing the script.
So the story reflects their true personalities and their worlds.”I wanted it to really be them and they didn’t have to act, but just be them “, he specified at Daily. “So Arnaud who is a fan of Dalida (in the film) is really a fan of Dalida. Well, Ludovic says a lot fewer insults!“, he also explained to Delahousse.
