The cheese epic won over 153,000 spectators, hot on the heels of the comedy “Jamais son mon psy”, although it was much more widely distributed. “Vaiana 2” and “En fanfare” still lead the way with a beating.

Dfor three consecutive weeks, Vaiana 2 sits at the top of the ranking, followed byA fanfare and its exceptional word of mouth. The Disney animated production has just added 864,000 tickets sold to its portfolio, which allows it to approach 5 million admissions and become the fourth most viewed film of the year. As for Emmanuel Courcol's social comedy, it achieved the feat of reaching the milestone of one million spectators in just nineteen days and seems more likely than ever to join the club of five French productions with more than 2 million viewers. entries in 2024.
At the end of its first weekend of operation, Arnaud Lemort's popular comedy Never without my therapist must therefore settle for third place, having attracted only 177,000 laughers despite its deployment in 540 cinemas in France. The director had done better on two of his three previous productions, not to mention Christian Clavier, in a duet here with Baptiste Lecaplain, for example with the recent Cocorico (488 000 entrées).

Very good performance, on the other hand, for Louise Courvoisier's first film, Twenty Gods, which won over 153,000 curious people in just 231 rooms, taking fourth place nationally and even second in Paris. The feature film beats Little Peasant at the start, another rural phenomenon which ended its career at 547,000 admissions in 2017. Totone's cheese and love epic is entirely capable of reproducing at least the same final score, because the critics and the first feedback from spectators are full of praise.
Conversely, The Lord of the Rings: War of the Rohirrim can only recognize its stinging defeat: this new animated adaptation of Tolkien's world only brought together 60,000 fans on 416 screens in five days. Crash also for Saint-Ex, which only took on 60,000 passengers in 312 rooms during its takeoff attempt. The dreamlike evocation of the author of Little Prince by Pablo Agüero, with Louis Garrel in the title role, does significantly less than The Last Flight, by Karim Dridi (111,000 entries in 2009). Finally, with 37,000 admissions on 164 screens, Noémie Merlant's second film, Women on the balcony, gets noticed.
