En Fanfare confirms to be the good surprise of the moment, while Wicked disappoints.
As in the United States where the tidal wave is impressive, Moana 2 floating at the French box office. The Disney animated film has already crossed the threshold of 4 million spectators in France and is riding a very solid attendance, with 1.6 million additional admissions in week 2 (down only 32% compared to its premiere). week). Moana 2 is even ahead of the passage times of Vice-Versa 2which had 3.8 million tickets sold after two weeks this summer (the film ended up with more than 8 million).
The other good news of the week is the success which is confirmed for With fanfare. The little comedy of'Emmanuel Courcol enjoys excellent word of mouth, which allows it to remain in second place at the French box office, with 350,000 more curious people and already nearly 800,000 spectators in total. Above all, the trend is very good (-13% only) and With fanfare could well be the surprise of this end of year in French cinemas.
On the other hand, Wicked fails to shine. While it explodes the scores across the Atlantic and despite good reviews, the musical is satisfied with 240,000 admissions for its first week, beaten by Conclave. The Vatican thriller carried by Ralph Fiennes is at 270,000.
Finally, we will note that Gladiator 2 is already out of breath. After four weeks, the spectacular peplum of Ridley Scott already attracts only 240,000 new fans. The film barely passes 2.5 million admissions and will not beat the score of Gladiator of the year 2000, which ended up with 4.8 million admissions in France.
