The adaptation of the eponymous video game achieved a very good first day at the French box office on Wednesday, to the point of finishing number 1 in front of two French comedies …

We did not expect him so high in the French charts. And yet, Until Dawn took orders from the National Box-Office on Wednesday, with 24,763 entriesin a very small park of 232 cinemas. Suffice to say an excellent attendance for this little horror film not so expected, which displays – by far – the best average of the first day with more than 100 entries per copy! A great performance for a feature film that did not have the advantage of previews like other films in the ranking.

Until Dawn Devance indeed Better daysComedy with Valérie Bonneton, who has 23,876 entries recorded on the first day of her theatrical release to which are added 65,378 tickets sold during the numerous previews.

Far from turning into a nightmare, Until Dawn: endless death is therefore the surprise of the week in theaters.

Synopsis: “A year after the mysterious disappearance of her sister Mélanie, Clover (Ella Rubin) and her friends go to the remote valley where she disappeared to seek answers. As they inspect an abandoned youth hostel, they find themselves hunted down by a masked and horribly murdered killer one by one … but then wake up and find themselves at the start of the same evening. Trapped in the valley, they are forced to relive this nightmare again and again – but each time, the threat of the killer is different, and each version is more terrifying than the previous one. While hope is falling as a result, the group understands that they have only a limited number of lives, and that their only chance to get out of it is to survive until dawn. “

A remote valley and a group of friends in distress: the usual recipe for a terror film that should make more than one pale.
