Neither Garfield nor Largo Winch can compete with Deadpool & Wolverine at the French box office

And although The Count of Monte Cristo is no longer king of this ranking, it is getting closer to the significant mark of six million admissions. And Barbie! (Source: Le Film Français)

Although theaters were full of new releases last week – something that hadn't happened for a while – none of them managed to compete with an unbeatable top 4 led by a superhero duo who are protecting their first place with all their claws out.

After a flying start with over a million admissions in its first week of operation, the triumphant return of Marvel signed Deadpool & Wolverine continues its momentum by dominating the French box office, although the dynamite effect has faded with ” only “ 800,000 tickets sold. The biggest part of the fan wave has passed? Or will its growing popularity on social networks continue to bring the public back to the theater? One thing seems certain, however, it will reach without much difficulty the two million cumulative spectators. For comparison, the first opus had finished its run with more than 3,736,000 spectators. With a heroic supplement with long clawsRyan Reynolds And Hugh Jackman Can they do better?

If there is anyone who benefits from this drop, it is Count of Monte Cristo. The gap between the two productions is narrowing, but the French masked avenger still has to settle for second place in the top. With almost 600,000 tickets sold during its sixth week of operation, the French blockbuster now records a cumulative total of just over 5,801,000 admissions. A real success that allows it to gradually approach six million admissions. It could soon overtake one of the big hits of 2023, Barbie by Greta Gerwig, which ended with… six million spectators in France.

Pierre Niney stronger than Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling combined? Even the French actor can't believe it, as his penultimate Twitter post suggests:

On the animation side, despite the real international success encountered by Inside Out 2which recently released Avengers of the world top 10 by accumulating more than 1.5 billion dollars worldwide, in France, the Disney/Pixar is largely overtaken by the last feature film of the franchise Despicable Me. While Riley's emotions recorded just under 300,000 admissions, the Minions and their antics galore brought back to theaters around 454,000 people. These figures allow Despicable Me 4 to close the podium and accumulate more than three million tickets sold, thus surpassing the first part of the saga released in 2010. The greatest success of Gru and his yellow acolytes in overalls is their third adventure with 5 million spectators gathered in theaters.

As noted The French Filmacross the entire box office, Despicable Me 4 is the one with the largest number of copies among operators: more than a thousand, compared to barely 640 for number 1. What would Deadpool think if he knew that little yellow pills dominated him in this area?

Just a stone's throw from these two animated films, a newcomer makes his entrance. The most famous ginger cat on television returns in an adventure this time on the big screen. And it's not his big appetite for lasagna that slows him down. On the contrary, between him and Riley's emotions, there are not that many differences. Garfield, Hero-in-Despite Himself recorded 264,304 admissions. Enough to make Disney anxious? In comparison, the live action released in 2004 sold 330,637 tickets during its first week of operation.

At least that's enough for the big cat to surpass Artus' comedy and enter the top 5.

A little something extra Although it was released four months ago, it continues to maintain its position, dropping slightly to sixth place. Still recording respectable scores, its latest entries allow it to quickly approach the ten million cumulative mark. For the time being, however, it has passed AND THE EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL And Finding Nemo at the all-time box office in France.

Behind him is the second new feature in this ranking: Largo Winch – The Price of Money. The third part of the trilogy featuring Tomer Sisley in the lead role brought in just over 164,000 people to theaters. A figure well below the two previous installments which, in 2008 and 2011, reached 500,000 admissions in their first week of release.

This is still enough to sweep away the tornado. Twisters which continues its vertiginous fall. For some time now, the wind has turned for this disaster film with Glen Powell and Daisy Edgar-Jones. After having already fallen two positions, it finished its race in eighth place with just under 104,000 admissions recorded. Will the whirlwind catch its breath again? With a cumulative 561,513 tickets sold, it is a long way from its predecessor released in 1996 which attracted more than a million spectators in total.

On the horror side, yes Without a sound day 1 And Longlegs leave the race, it is to give way to the scream queen Mia Gothstar of Maxxineconclusion of the horror trilogy signed Ti West. After X, which had only accumulated 48,000 admissions by the end of 2022, and Pearl, released directly on VOD, the heroine who dreams of becoming the next rising star of Hollywood makes a far from spectacular entrance in France. Everyone must know her name, but for the moment she must be content with the penultimate place. Nevertheless, with more than 56,770 countermarks, this latest installment does better than its predecessor.

To close the ranking, the comedy SND, The Minion continues to fall, losing three places. It manages to finish with 32,930 people gathered in theaters and ejects the Cannes film Santosh of the top.

M.Night Shyamalan's new film, Trap, released yesterday, will it attract enough spectators to the cinema to hope to reshuffle the cards next week?

Here is the weekly French box office from July 31 to August 6, 2024:
