Despite the 4.6 million admissions in French cinemas, Asterix & Obelix: The Middle Kingdom failed to achieve its objectives. This score can still be considered honorable for the comedy of Guillaume Canet released in theaters on February 1, 2023. However, the figures remain far from those of Cleopatra Mission by Alain Chabat, which attracted 14 million curious people in 2002.
On the other hand, for the main person concerned, we are far from failure. Questioned by the Sunday Newspaperthe supposed ex-companion of Marion Cotillard explain : “It is absolutely not a failure. It has been sold all over the world and has already attracted more than 2 million admissions internationally, with notable successes in Europe, particularly in Poland.” And the 50-year-old actor is not wrong. 510,000 admissions were recorded in Poland, while in Germany, where the film was released on May 18, the comedy grossed more than $1 million in profits. However, this was not enough to cover the 65 million budget.

Guillaume Canet returns to the cinema, Marion Cotillard shows her support
At any rate, Guillaume Canet moves forward and returns to the big screen starting this Wednesday. He plays the leading role in the new film by Just Philippot, Acid. A film in which “Selma, 15, grows up between her two separated parents, Michal (Guillaume Canet) and Élise. Acidic and devastating rains fall on France. In a world that will soon sink, this fractured family must unite to face this climatic catastrophe and try to escape it”remind our colleagues fromAllocinated.
This fantasy drama, which is strangely reminiscent of the series The Rain broadcast on Netflix in 2018, has already been praised by critics and should allow Guillaume Canet and Just Philippot to attract many spectators to cinemas. And to help the director and the 50-year-old actor, the latter can count on significant support: Marion Cotillard. The actress and mother of Guillaume Canet indeed showed his support for his supposed ex-companion this Wednesday, September 20, 2023 by sharing the trailer for Acid. “ACID is released in theaters today! This film is sublime! Run for it!”, she asked her community. Enough to fill the film teams and Guillaume Canet himself with joy.
