After several months of suspense, unveiled his film “Asterix and Obelix: The Middle Empire” at the cinema on 1er February 2023. Not a little proud, the happy father of two children chained weeks of promotion with part of his film crew! However, the actor has never hidden his anxiety about the release of his feature film. He himself recognizes that it is not easy to do better than Alain Chabat’s opus “Asterix and Obelix: Mission Cleopatra” released in 2002.
For this new cinematographic project, the ex-companion of Diane Kruger has invested a lot! And he stands to lose big if he fails. “Four years of work, between writing, preparation, filming and post-production. It’s a lot of work, a huge budget: around 65 million euros!”, confessed the sidekick of Benoît Magimel for TV 7 days.
Big relief for Guillaume Canet
According to information from The Informed unveiled on Tuesday January 31, 2023, Guillaume Canet should receive “0.3% of the ticket price excluding taxes”, Then “0.69 additional euros per place sold” if the bar “1 million viewers” in theaters is outdated. If Guillaume Canet manages to exceed the threshold of “7 million spectators in France and / or if it is amortized”, the producer should touch “1 million euros gross” as well as a bonus of “up to 900,000 euros gross for 5 million tickets sold”.
Unfortunately for the star as soon as the film was released, the critics did not spare him. But obviously, the public has decided to trust the director. Wednesday February 8, 2023, Guillaume Canet also took to his Instagram account to thank the countless viewers who came to discover his feature film. More than 1,882,686 entries have already been recorded: “A huge thank you to you”, simply wrote the main concerned in the caption of his publication which honored the poster of his latest achievement. What to nail the beak to his detractors!
