Tim Burton’s film “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” tops the French box office for the third week in a row

BeetlejuiceBeetlejuicethe second part of Tim Burton’s macabre comedy, dominates the French box office for the third consecutive week, ahead of the French comedy The Happy Chosen One produced by Frank Bellocq and The Count of Monte Cristo by Matthieu Delaporte and Alexandre de La Patellière.

This ranking was established from September 25 to October 1, 2024 and published Wednesday October 2 by CBO Box-Office.

In the theater for three weeks, BeetlejuiceBeetlejuice and his kingdom of the dead continues its lead, bringing together 257,671 additional spectators. It thus passed the milestone of 1.2 million admissions, almost double the first part, released in 1988, which brought together 628,458 spectators.

In second position rises the first novelty of the week, the French comedy The Happy Chosen One with 206,815 spectators in 516 theaters. Camille Lellouche plays a VTC driver hired by one of his clients to play his fake fiancée and thus extract money from his parents. The young woman has no filter and her behavior stands out in the bourgeois family of her accomplice.

Other release of the week: Megalopolisthe crazy bet of Francis Ford Coppola, 85 years old. The legendary director ofApocalypse Now has sunk part of his fortune into this film which was panned by most critics at the Cannes Film Festival. Her Megalopolis presented as “a Roman epic set in an imaginary modern America in full decadence” attracted 136,309 spectators on 491 screens. He has to settle for fifth place in the ranking, but it’s already significantly better than his last two films.

The adaptation of the work of Alexandre Dumas, The Count of Monte Cristo, continues to seduce the public and attracted another 178,660 new spectators last week for a total of 8.6 million admissions since the film’s release. Will it cross the 9 million viewer mark? On this momentum, the objective is far from being out of reach.
