Great OD in France. #2 of 2024 (behind a french comedy released last week). Kingdom of the Planet Of The Apes : 240 102 admissions War of TPOTA : 270 056 Dawn of TPOTA : 412 565 (opened on Cinema Day) Rise of TPOTA : 281 904

French OD is bad. 95 809 (inc 27 306 preview) so 68 503 adm Wednesday To compare : TF1: 259 387 adm TF2: 261 065 adm TF3: 337 853 adm TF4: 275 776 adm TF5: 274 792 adm (30 374 preview) Bumblebee : 109 490 adm (inc 14 645 previews) Not sure to pass 1 mill to be honest (as it's gonna open with 370/420k)

And btw, really want to see it again (I rarely see movie twice in theaters, the exception since Covid being EEAAO that I've seen three times). So this may be great for box office

I thought the first one was great but not as fantastic as some keep saying (like a A- (3,5/5) I guess) But damn, this one... So great that when the credits rolled, I thought it was a joke because I didn't see the 2 hours 20 minutes go by. I had completly lost track of time. Really well written, still visually impressive and so creative. So only bad thing with it it is the fact it really is half of the story. Much more than it was for AIW tbh, made me think of POTC or Matrix 2/3 much more in this regards. BRILLIANT! A+ (4,5/5)

Highly doubt any of these get there. Spidey is ~250m Indy around that aswell I think with a shot to 300 if really good. Barbie is a big ? for me but atm I don't see it above 150m.

Think it was good. Maybe a bit over-the-top at some points where I thought we we can see the limits of the concept of the meta-horror-movie-genre. The city is not a gimmick at all and a nice element and there is some really good nail bitting moments. I still have a problem with Melissa Barrera's acting I must say I don't know why. All the rest of the cast is really good (Ortega is indeed above the rest) Some twists work very well (some just don't, the killer reveal is a tad disappointing event if it has good build up if that makes sense). Didn't know the opening and thought it was a clever way to start it ! I'd say a 3/5 and something like Scream 1 (5*) Scream 4 (4*) Scream 2 (4*) Scream VI (3*) Scream 5 (3*) Scream 3 (1,5*)

As for my top I'd say : 1/ Everything Everywhere All at Once ✭✭✭✭✭ 2/ Avatar: The Way of Water ✭✭✭✭✩ 3/ Triangle of Sadness ✭✭✭✭✩ 4/ Top Gun Maverick ✭✭✭✭✩ 5/ All Quiet on the Western Front ✭✭½✩✩ 6/ The Banshees of Inisherin ✭✭½✩✩ 7/ Elvis ✭✭✩✩✩ The Fabelmans and Tar release tomorrow in France. Women Talking march 8.

wait what ? (and I very much like Top Gun and Avatar btw) - So happy for Everything Everwhere... myfavorite of last year. Very happy to see Hsu nominated.

No Way Home did $70m with 7,3millions admissions (so 9.59 ATP) but I think Avatar is getting more 4DX/3D/HFR/etc. seances so with the same admissions it would be closer to $80/85m

Just to had some context : yesterday was France's Semi-Final in the World Cup. 20,6 millions viewers (probably closer to 22 millions when including the private cable channel also broadcasting it). Biggest number since 2006. One of the top 5 most-watched program of all time in France. It oc had a HUGE impact. And with 7 millions + inflation + rise of premium cinema I think it is at least doing 75% of OG number. It's really good in France I think.

Seen it today and it is dizzyingly masterful. A disillusioned fable about the death of the American dream that is ultra well directed, and crafted and whose cinematography will bring tears to your eyes. 9/10

I have to say, it's... quite something. Each actor seems to have had different instructions about the genre of the film. I think the movie is really not to be seen too seriously and that it is a real "camp" movie but not sure that the general public can appreciate that (especially over 2H40). I was really surprised by Gaga's performance, she reveals a comic power that is quite effective. I almost want to see her in a pure comedy. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)

Aproximately 380k admissions Yesterday in France. It is really underwhelming. French Opening Day: TFA: 619 020 TLJ: 503 727 TROS: 380 000 (-25% / TLJ -39%/TFA) Worst OD for the franchise since SW6 in 1983.

Hard to say... It didn't really impact last week's releases but those were much tinier movies... Looking to the peripheric numbers I added to my previous post, it seems the strikes did affect the movie since those numbers are slightly better !

Paris 14H numbers : -18% comp. The Last Jedi -33% comp. The Force Awakens Paris Peripherie : TFA: 36 360 (73 theaters) TLJ: 29 063 (83 theaters) TROS: 25 621 (114 / -29.5% / -12%) Important to note that Paris subway system is still exposed to important strikes that lead 10 metro lines to not working.
