Thanks Optimist80, DirkieXP and Predec for keeping us up to date with the box office numbers from week to week!
After struggling through 2025, the French box office has bounced back with 15.89 million admissions in January, up 14.9% compared to the same month last year, according to CNC estimates.
That amounts to €117.6 million according to an average ticket price of €7.40. That is the best result for January in the country since 2019 (18.3 million admissions).
The local industry is hoping February’s box office will get a further boost from the country’s annual school holidays and a series of high-profile films on release. They include Christophe Barratier’s World War II-set Children Of The Resistance (Studiocanal), basketball comedy The American Dream (Gaumont), and US titles led by Wuthering Heights (Warner Bros.), Marty Supreme (Metropolitan Filmexport).
February has started positively with Pathe’s creature feature Marsupilami, released on February 4, which has clocked the highest number of first-day admissions for a French film since 2024 box office phenomenon A Little Something Extra, which ended with 11 million admissions.
Additionally, Studiocanal’s Yann Gozland-directed psychological thriller Guru, about a manipulative self-help guru, has also sold more than 700,000 tickets in its first week in cinemas since opening on January 28.
