First day box office: Ducobu, Kev Adams and Chantal Ladesou are a hit

Thanks to their numerous previews, Ducobu and the Ghost of Saint-Potache and The House of Our Dreams are already showing promising scores while The Social Reckoning disappoints.

It’s not yet the school holidays, but a schoolboy is having a blast at the cinema.

Ducobu and the Ghost of Saint-Potache tops the first day box office. The continuation of the family saga directed by Elie Semoun already has 68,000 admissions in more than 600 theaters, thanks to numerous previews which were sold out, bringing together 36,000 spectators even before Wednesday.

A start, however, below that of Ducobu goes green!which recorded 76,000 admissions on its first day in 2024, including previews, to finally exceed one million spectators at the end of its career.

Another French comedy, another hit: The House of our dreams already has more than 100,000 entries thanks to a particularly impressive preview run, with more than 70,000 tickets sold even before the official release. Kev Adams and Chantal Ladesou have obviously capitalized on their popularity to move the crowds and Claude Zidi Jr. could well have another massive success at the French box office.

A third French film completes the podium of new releases of the week: Isabelle Huppert is Neither seen nor known for Marc Fitoussi and attracted more than 25,000 spectators, including previews, in 350 theaters after its first day.

Which relegates the big American film of the week to fourth place.

The Social Reckoning attracted only 10,000 spectators in 240 theaters. Very little, especially compared to The Social Networkwhich recorded 62,000 admissions for its first day in 2010, before ending with nearly 1.5 million spectators. This sequel without Jesse Eisenberg suffers from lukewarm reviews and Facebook Files are clearly struggling to excite the French public.

Finally, Fake Note for Alexandre Arcady, who only debuts in fifth place with his opera thriller. The face-to-face between Kad Merad and Benoît Poelvoorde only attracted 6,000 curious people in a reduced number of 171 rooms.
