Belgians have different tastes from the rest of the world: here are the films that made the Belgian box office soar or sink in 2024

Deadpool&Wolverine, second on a planetary level, stay, with us, just at the bottom of the steps, in front Dune 2 and, surprise, two French productions: A little something extra et The Counts of Monte Cristo. Vaiana 2, Gladiator 2 (which does not appear in the world elite) and Kung Fu Panda 4 complete the top 10. Once again, animated films take the lion’s share, proof that it is still family entertainment that is successful.

Box office: the hedgehog ate the lion

Blockbusters, on the other hand, are lagging behind. Red One, Bob Marley – One Love, The Beekeeper, Challengers, The Fall Guy, Furiosa, Madame Web, Ferrari, Civil War, Argylle, The Apprentice or To The Moonall announced as events, have not managed (sometimes even very far from it…) to cross the threshold of 100,000 spectators. Worse, Hit Man et Transformers One have not even won over 25,000 Belgians, which will probably not be achieved either The collar laughed Hunter (just 10,982 entries so far) or The Lord of the Rings : The War of the Rohirrim (7,535 places sold to date). For The color purplethe broth is even more undrinkable: only 4,876 compatriots came to watch it. Much more, despite everything, than Megalopolis (2,954 spectators), Francis Ford Coppola’s mega-flop.

A Hollywood result that falls short of expectations, therefore. And this seems to have benefited our neighbors across Quiévrain. phew love by Gilles Lellouche, Cocorico (with Christian Clavier and Didier Bourdon), Simone – The trip of the century, Retirement home 2, Monsieur Aznavour, Ducobu goes green or Emilia Perez all attracted more than 50,000 moviegoers. That said, is also dragging a few pots, with Fallen from the truckn (815 unfortunate entries), The Coubertin spirit (623), Silex and the City (475) or Almost legal (407).

French cinema devotes “A Little Something Extra”

And the Belgians in all this? Unsurprisingly Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah once again crush the competition. Logical, with Hollywood means and a huge headliner like Will Smith. With 280,092 entries, Bad Boys Ride or Die occupies twelfth position in the national ranking. Followed at a good distance by Solange Cicurel, who attracted 54,835 moviegoers with TKT (this places it in 46th position). We probably don’t have to look any further for the favorite for the next Magritte ceremony. Julie is silentwho was chosen to defend our colors at the Oscars, also performed well (45,878 tickets sold). Just like The night drags on (38 745) or Amal (26,774). On the other hand, hopes were much higher for Joachim Lafosse’s psychological drama on the Hissel affair (24,636 admissions), Largo Winch the price of money by Olivier Masset-Depasse (19,719), The art of being happy (13,185 is not much for a film with Benoît Poelvoorde) or A matter of principlewith Bouli Lanners in the role of José Bové at the heart of the European institutions (barely 4,898 spectators in our cinemas).

An assessment from which we must nevertheless take advantage: the Hollywood empire should counterattack in force next year with Avatar : Fire and Ash, la suite de Mission : Impossible, Frankenstein, Bridget Jones or Snow White, notably. Some are even starting to dream of a box office returning to pre-covid levels. Best wishes to the 7th art…
