French box office: The Count of Monte Cristo is unstoppable

Pierre Niney is at the top of the rankings for the third week in a row and is slowly approaching 8 million admissions!

Will there be a second French film to pass 10 million admissions in France in 2024? We are starting to ask ourselves the question as The Count of Monte Cristo continues to lead the French box office. Back up to first place in the ranking in mid-August – after the interlude Deadpool & Wolverine – Pierre Niney doesn't come down anymore and continues to sell tickets. Lots of tickets. More than 360,000 for its 10th week of national operation, which sees the epic of Edmond Dantès approach 8 million spectators (7.7 million for the moment)

Of course, the mythical bar of 10 is still far away. But we remember that the phenomenon A little something extra had waited until his 16th week to reach it. At the same time – after 10 weeks – Artus was at 8.8 million. So there is hope for The Count of Monte Cristowhose attendance is slowly declining.

Especially since the competition is not in good shape. Emilia Perez is content with 200,000 additional entries in the second week, to approach 500,000 cumulative spectators. While Deadpool & Wolverine has weakened and has not yet reached 3.5 million fans and that Alien: Romulus fell to 6th position in 3 weeks, just a few tickets away from a million admissions.

Finally, we will note in this weekly box office thatA little something extra still has 150,000 tickets for its 18th week of operation and now has a total of 10.4 million spectators. Yes, there really is hope for Edmond Dantès!
