If we could predict the success of The Count of Monte Cristo, no one expected such success for A little thing in addition.

Nearly one in two films was French

French films represent 44.4% of the national box office in 2024 according to the CNC, a score without equivalent for 15 years. Sandrine Marie, director of UGC Mondeville cinema is also categorical: “the films which attracted the most attention from us this year are the French comedies“, and in particular the comedy of Artus. The film made more than 53,000 entries, which delights the director: “this is the 7th highest number of admissions to a French cinema! »

According to her, this very good performance of French films released in 2024, such as Un p’tit truc en plus, L’Amour ouf or Le Comte de Monte Cristo, was favored by the lack of American blockbusters showing this year, caused by the several-month strike by screenwriters in many American production studios.

Success also in arthouse cinemas
