No less than five films from La Belle Province have exceeded the symbolic million dollar mark at the box office in 2024 and two others –, Shepherds et Miss Bottine – are expected to reach this milestone by the arrival of the new year. A look back at the 5 biggest Quebec box office hits of the year:

Our Sisters-in-Law (3,5 M$)

More than 50 years after their creation, Michel Tremblay’s sisters-in-law continue to attract crowds. Released at the beginning of the summer, René-Richard Cyr’s film adapted from the Quebec theater classic collected more than $3.5 million at box office in the province, becoming the biggest Quebec box office success since the comedy Liarin 2019.

1995 (3 M$)

Has Ricardo Trogi found the recipe for success? Thanks to 1995the 4th^e part of his popular series of autobiographical comedies, Ricardo Trogi last summer became the first Canadian director to cross the million-dollar box office mark seven times. 1995 raked in nearly $3 million at the box office.

The Christmas cyclone (2,4 M$)

The characters of The eye of the storm have successfully made the transition from the small to the big screen. The Christmas cyclone, a Christmas film inspired by the popular - TV series, was undoubtedly the Quebec success of the fall in cinemas across the province. A month and a half after its release, the family comedy starring Christine Beaulieu and Véronique Cloutier is still doing very well in theaters and will be available in a few days on the Ici Tou.tv platform.

The little one and the old man (1,5 M$)

Based on great performances from Gildor Roy and young actress Juliette Bharucha, this drama by Patrice Sauvé adapted from the novel of the same title by Marie-Renée Lavoie also managed to reach a large audience this fall. After raking in over $1.5 million at the box office during its theatrical run, The little one and the old man has just been released on DVD and video on demand.

The successor (1 M$)

This is a success that no one saw coming. Released in early February, this psychological thriller directed by French filmmaker Xavier Legrand and starring Marc-André Grondin and Yves Jacques was the first Quebec production to reach the million-dollar mark at the box office this year. We guess that the rave reviews and favorable word of mouth the film received helped it find its audience.
