Candyman tramples down the Dune
Dune don’t let anyone or anything pass, sending new products to the depths of the top 10, Candy on your mind.
If we admit to being chickweed for the exit of Dune in the United States simultaneously on HBO Max and in theaters on October 22, 2021, its maintenance in France is enough to draw us two or three whistles of admiration. With 500,000 admissions in the third week of operation for a total of nearly 2,193,000 spectators, the adaptation of the saga of Frank Herbert can afford to fix its illustrious predecessors of the SF category in the blue of the eyes.
We think of course of the last two Christopher Nolan in this category, the other “hit” period Covid-19, Principle and Interstellar. The former ended its career at 2,349 million entries while Matthew McConaughey’s Time and Space Walk stopped at 2,651 million entries. Two partitions that Dune will undoubtedly spray at the end of its career, even if the juggernaut To die can wait risk of robbing him of the favors of the public as well as the first place of the French ranking.
“James, I know where you are hiding, come here that I kill you“
“Fall” and “failure” are two words that Black Box has long banned from its vocabulary. After a month of operation, Yann Gozlan’s thriller has still not left second place and even allows itself to record a drop of only 3% for this fourth week. A nice success and a nice message to the industry and the public : ambition and risk-taking can pay off better than laziness and security.
We are not sure that misery is less painful in the sun, but in any case, the success must be so much sweeter. For its seventh week, North Bac fall of only lost only 14% of attendance and garnered 136,000 admissions for a total of nearly 1,951 million admissions. A number of admissions that will allow it to approach or exceed the 2,181 million admissions of …Wretched in 2019, another success which tackled similar themes, although very differently, which can give him hope a great career on Netflix which broadcasts it internationally.
When you prepare to search the throne
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings slowly but surely ends his career, falling by 24%, attracting another 107,000 spectators for a total of 1,241 million admissions which does not even equal the first weeks of Captain Marvel (1,255,000 entries) and Spider Man : Far from home (1,370,000 admissions) after five weeks. We wish him to reach 1,664 million admissions of Black Widow before the arrival of Venom : Let there be carnage next October 20, because the film directed by Andy Serkis may not make a prisoner.
If Marseille has visibly succeeded in North Bac, the Phocaean city did not have the same impact for Still water. Matt Damon’s adventures in the northern quarters don’t attract many people for their second week with 94,000 admissions for a total of 230,000 spectators. A score that allows him to exceed 198,000 admissions in the first week of Projector, the previous feature film by Tom McCarthy, but Still water will surely not reach the 616,000 admissions of the previous feature film over time.
I’ll go Taken to you
Note also the arrival of four new products at the head of the procession, from eighth to eleventh position: Candy (71,000 entries), Eugenie Grandet (70,000), The unquiet (54,000), and This music doesn’t play for anyone (52,000). Candy achieves a performance close to that of its illustrious elder, and will undoubtedly go no further than the 177,000 entries of the original. Eugenie Grandet, adaptation of the eponymous novel by Balzac, does not seem to unite the crowds. A disturbing signal before the arrival oflost illusions and its 18.7 million euros budget, this October 20, 2021.
The unquiet achieves a score in the average of the openings of Joachim Lafosse, as The couple’s economy (59,000 admissions in 2016), To lose reason (55,000 admissions in 2012). Finally, the pretty cast of This music doesn’t play for anyone (Joey Starr, François Damiens, Vanessa Paradis, Bouli Lanners, Ramzy Bedia) will not have many people even if Samuel benchetrit achieves more than 5 times the score of his previous feature film, Dog, which stopped its career at some 10,000 admissions.
Tank can
Otherwise, the last Sean Penn, Flag day achieves 37,000 admissions for its entry. A score comparable to the 38,000 entries of The last face in 2017, which ended its career with 43,000 spectators. We can console ourselves by saying that the quality of Flag day is likely to plague the career of the film more than the release of To die can wait this October 6, 2021. See you next week to be sure.
