7 majority French productions attracted over 100,000 spectators in foreign theaters in April, including 5 French-language films.
Clouds of Sils Maria enjoyed a highly promising debut in the USA. After being initially released in only 3 theaters, the film's distributor IFC significantly upped the number of prints in circulation to reach 69 screens by the end of April, with 74,000 admissions registered in three weeks. Released in theaters outside France since August 2014, Sils Maria has now crossed the 500,000 spectators mark abroad.
An animated film that has been eagerly anticipated in 2015, Why I Did (Not) Eat My Father (3D) registered 67,000 admissions in 4 weeks in Belgium and posted a more than satisfactory average number of spectators per print. Released late April in Turkey, a country where audiences traditionally show a strong interest in French animated pictures, this film by Jamel Debbouze clocked up 45,000 admissions in its opening week.
Serial (Bad) Weddings topped 9 million admissions abroad in April. This film continues its international run in Latin America, where it registered 200,000 spectators in Mexico at the end of April. It now ranks as the 9th most successful French-language film monitored by Unifrance in international theaters since 1994.
Beauty and the Beast's release in Mexico marks the end of its international career. Released late January, the film by Christophe Gans has ended its run with a total of...993,000 admissions! Even if it has not reached the symbolic threshold of 1 million admissions, it has nonetheless achieved the 7th best performance by a majority French production for more than 20 years and the 2nd best performance for a French-language production after The Intouchables (1,6 million admissions), according to Unifrance statistics.
In Italy, The Bélier Family posted a total of more than 400,000 admissions at the end of April after over a month on the screens, while Samba was released late April and attracted over 100,000 moviegoers in its opening week.
Among other notable performances in April, The Finishers jumped to 3rd place at the Polish box office in its opening week and tallied over 63,000 spectators after three weeks. Across the Atlantic, Asterix - The Mansion of the Gods finished its run in Quebec with a total of 185,000 admissions to its credit, ranking as its distributor Métropole's best performing French release.
Also released in April: Do Not Disturb in Germany, Nicholas on Holiday and Not My Type in Italy, Samba in Australia, The Blue Room in Argentina, The Search in Japan, Marie Heurtin in Spain, Timbuktu in Colombia, and Daddy or Mommy in Portugal.
