Box office: Dany Boon and Kad Merad are a big flop, “Super Mario Bros. the movie” sets a record

Dany Boon did not pop the champagne. “Life for real”, the film he wrote, where he plays the main role, made the worst launch of his career since “The House of Happiness” 17 years ago! This new French comedy has accumulated over its first five days of operation, from April 19 to 25, 384,538 admissions, including 39,129 in previews.

A real setback for the director who, since the box of “Bienvenue chez les Ch’tis” in 2008 had not sold less than a million tickets in the first week. Even by aligning Dany Boon, Charlotte Gainsbourg and Kad Merad, the French film obviously did not motivate the public. It must be said that the critics are not kind to the production which inherits a meager 2.8/5 on “Allociné”.

François Civil clamps the 3 million

If the hall operators did not count on “La Vie pour de vrai”, they were able to rely on the success of a mustachioed plumber. “Super Marios Bros. The Movie” continues its mad dash to the top of the French box office. Animation production that adapts the world of video games has accumulated 4,820,259 admissions in 3 weeks in France. Which already makes it the biggest success in France this year. The momentum that has appeared again in recent days does not seem to be about to stop, especially when some of the students are still on school holidays.

More discreet but also honorable, “The Three Musketeers: d’Artagnan” now has 2,322,149 entries on French territory. François Civil can still reasonably hope to pass the symbolic milestone of three million conquered.
