Box office France: Beetlejuice 2 in the million, Megalopolis weak

Coppola's event film does not attract and it is rather The Happy One, the comedy carried by Camille Lellouche, which stands out.

Beetlejuice times three! Third consecutive week at the top of the French box office for Beetlejuice2which attracted another 258,000 spectators to theaters in recent days. Enough to pass the milestone of one million entries. Tim Burton has already achieved twice as many admissions in France as its first part in 1988.

Behind Michael Keaton in madness, it is Camille Lellouchewho is doing well. The French actress is The lucky one of Franck Bellocqwhich sold more than 200,000 tickets in its first week. An excellent start and the eighth best launch for a French comedy in 2024, (ahead of We, the Leroys).

The news is less good for Megalopolis. The last film of Francis Ford Coppola was seen by 137,000 curious people in France. A disappointing score, certainly weighed down by the very bad reviews surrounding the filmmaker's SF epic. Attendance is expected to plummet. That said, Megalopolis already does better than Twixt (2012) or The Ageless Man (2007), which had barely passed 100,000 entries. He should end his career in the waters of Tetro (400,000 spectators in 2009). Let us remember that Coppola's biggest success in France is Apocalypse Nowwhich had 4.5 million admissions in 1979.

In the rest of the French box office, it should be noted the excellent performance of Seeds of the wild fig treebest average attendance of the week with 232,401 admissions for its theatrical debut. The film awarded at Cannes is already the best score of Mohammad Rasoulof In France.

Finally, as for the great French successes of the year, The Count of Monte Cristo continues to hang on to the podium and now totals 8.7 million spectators. For Emilia Pérez and Jacques Audiard, we are approaching a million.
