Danny Boyle's infected were running to bite the Dragonsbut they broke their teeth on the krokmou scales. Relatively. If the live remake of the animated classic of DreamWorks keeps the head of the box office and already exceeds the milestone of the million admissions reached by its predecessors, 28 years later does not deserve at all. Far from it.

Despite a ban on children under 16 and a number of copies smaller than that of its direct competitors (410 against a fan ranging from 591 to 1,083), the new post-apocalyptic horrific saga opus comes directly into third position, with the second average per screen of the week, behind that of … Dragons. Not content with having doubled Elio From Pixar, third Sunday evening, in the final stretch, he signs the best start of the franchise and almost already equaled the final score of 28 days later (200,814 tickets torn in 2002).

If the horror makes it recipe, and Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning is getting closer to the scores of a ghost protocol and Dead Reckoning, which he will however find it difficult to overcome by the end of his career, it is still the family films that dominate the debates. With various fortunes. Leader for the second consecutive week, Dragons has become the fourteenth millionnaire film of 2025 (closely followed by Destination Final Bloodlines, which has also just joined this club), while Lilo & Stitch Assocles its status of biggest success of the year by crossing the milestone of 4 million admissions, and can take advantage of the Cinema Festival and then summer to reach 5.

An already out of reach of Elio, in the same way as the million spectators, less than an almost miraculous start. As it stands, and as in the United States, the latest of Pixar signs the less good start in the history of the studio in France, and it is very likely to be its second feature to finish millionaire alongside in front (954,598), which would have reached it if the COVVIR and the closure of the cinemas had not suddenly slowed its progression. A year after the phenomenal cardboard of Vice Versa 2, this already acted failure is likely to weaken a little more the status of original projects within the animation studio.

Still on the new side, the big winner of the last Alpe d'Huez festival, Avignonbegins in sixth position with a nice average by copy synonymous with a curiosity on the part of the public, which could offer it a good career if word of mouth is there. As Enzowhich starts in front of the red island but behind 120 beats per minute (which had benefited from a larger exhibition because of its aura born in Cannes) in the recent career of its director Robin Campillo, the film will be able to take advantage of the Cinema Festival which is looming to give a boost deserved at its entries. See you in a week for the balance sheet.
