The 10 biggest hits in French cinema have a little something extra

What are the 10 French films that have recorded the most admissions in all of history? Here is the ranking.

Artus There it is! The director/actor has entered a very closed circle which already includes Dany Boon, Alain Chabat, Gérard Oury, Jean-Marie Poiré and others like Nakache and Toledano. A little something extra has officially entered the Top 10 of the biggest successes in the history of cinema in France. With 10,320,712 admissions at the latest count, the tender social comedy has just passed Three Men and a Basketby Coline Serreau (10.2 million in 1985) then Taxi 2 (10.3 million in 2000) to now occupy 9th place in the “ever” made in France ranking. A little something extra should not go any higher, since 8th place is occupied by The Sucker (11.7 million), too far now given the film's current attendance.

It should be noted that this ranking only takes into account the biggest successes in French cinema. The film with the most admissions in cinemas in France is always the American Titanicby James Cameron, which has accumulated 22.2 million viewers since its release (and subsequent re-releases) in 1997.
