French-language films registered a slight decline in the US market in 2010 compared to 2009.
Despite the absence of major commercial hits in 2010 (in the likes of Taken in 2009), the 6 French films shot or dubbed in English attracted 9 million spectators in the United States, with French films registering a total of over 13 million admissions.
Slipping back by a meager 0.33 % over 2009, the US box office posted impressive results for French films in 2010, taking $1.34 million. The Top 10 performers, which include a number of sequels and 3D animated films, pulled in 450 million spectators. The implementation of digital cinema surged, with the number of screens equipped with 3D facilities doubling to reach over 8,000 in 2010, which represents 20% of theater screens in the USA.
