While “Operation Fortune: ruse of war” was released directly on Prime Video in France in 2023, it allowed TF 1 to place at the top of the audiences this Sunday, January 19. This action film led by Jason Statham thrilled 3.56 million viewers, or 20% of the public watching television, according to Médiamétrie. This is a little better than the rebroadcast of “The Day After” a week earlier (3.21 million, 17.9% audience share).
M 6 takes a very good second place by broadcasting a new issue of “Capital”. The magazine presented by Julien Courbet was devoted to the secrets of Intermarché and low-cost bakeries and attracted 2.59 million curious people (14.4% PDA). A score up significantly compared to the last broadcast on January 5 (1.74 million, 9.4% audience share).
“Simone, the trip of the century” in third position
France 2 completes the podium thanks to the film “Simone, the journey of the century” on the life of Simone Veil. This Olivier Dahan biopic with Elsa Zylberstein attracted 2.21 million people (13% audience share). This is much less than the film “Rebels” in the same box on January 12 (3.14 million, 15.7% PDA). When it was released in theaters in the fall of 2022, “Simone, the journey of the century” garnered nearly 2.5 million admissions.
-France 3 is in fourth position with a new episode of “Investigations of Commissioner Van der Valk”. The unique plot kept 2.18 million detective fiction fans in suspense (11.3% audience share). The series therefore shows stability compared to the previous week’s section (2.19 million, 11% PDA).
As for other channels, Arte is doing well thanks to “Casino”. Martin Scorsese’s film delighted 869,000 moviegoers, or 5.4% of the public.
