Even though we haven't yet reached the pre-Covid results (over 200 million annual admissions between 2014 and 2019), 181.3 million tickets were sold in 2024, almost 1 million more than in 2023 (already a good year). For comparison, second place belongs to the United Kingdom with 125.5 million admissions, third place goes to Germany with 90.1 million (the rest of the ranking in the Statista illustration below).
French films are not without reason in this success, representing 44.4% of the films watched in 2024. Special mention for Un p'tit truc en plus by Artus and its 10.8 million admissions and The Count of Monte-Cristo by Matthieu Delaporte and Alexandre de La Patellière with 9.3 million.
