A week after its theatrical release, the Palme d’or by Justine Triet exceeds 250,000 admissions. A record that suggests the million spectators.
The best start for 15 years for a Palme d’or. Released last Wednesday in cinemas, the film Anatomy of a fall by Justine Triet, got off to an excellent start at the box office. “What happens in the film is extraordinary“Enthuses the distributor of the film Jean Labadie, guest of France Info Tuesday, August 29. “There was an astonishing expectation. We’re out on August 23 in 300 theaters and we’re off to a spectacular start. What is great is that in market share, we go up every day“, he adds.
Until crossing the million entries? “The exhibitors showing the film have all committed to showing it for a long time, there is strong demand from cities that have not yet started broadcasting. So I think we can do a lot more», assures Jean Labadie.
An international success
Similarly, the feature film is exported and meets with international success. “He won the public prize in Australia, New Zealand, which proves that he travels extraordinarily well“recalls the distributor of Anatomy of’a fall. «There have been fiascos in the history of the Palme d’Or but there have also been a lot of very good results.For comparison, the Palme d’or 2019, the South Korean film Parasite by Bong Joon Ho, had totaled nearly two million admissions. “We can see that very regularly, the Palme d’Or brings a very large number of spectators indoors.», Analyzes Jean Labadie.

Justine Triet’s speech at the reception of the Cannes trophy, who had castigated “the commodification of culture» and aroused controversy, did not therefore affect the theatrical success of the film, nor discourage the spectators. “The public knows how to make sense of things. He listened to Justine Triet’s speech, which is not to say that the system essentially helps big films. But to say that she herself comes from the cultural exception and that the latter is threatened», concludes his distributor.
