We’re on track for “Un p’tit truc en plus” to become a hit in French cinema in 2024. A masterstroke for the first film by Montpellier-born Artus as a director. The public responded, and more than that. It’s the best start of the year in French cinemas. The film was released on Wednesday and in 3 days, it attracted 500,000 spectators.
A destiny similar to “Intouchables” or “Bienvenue chez les Ch’tis”?
A figure which swelled further during the weekend. It’s better than “Dune 2” and we’re really not far from the starts made by the great French successes of recent years. “Bienvenue chez les Ch’tis”, “les Choristes” or “Intouchables”, which to date holds the record with more than 19 million admissions in theaters. “A little extra thing”, the story of a father and his son on the run, who find refuge in a summer camp for young people with disabilities. The alchemy works for this comedy directed by a Montpellier resident and with 2 Vauclusiens in the main roles Théophile Leroy and Alice Belaïdi.
