The year is coming to an end with a somewhat disappointing record for French cinema, bereft of major national successes like last year’s The Count of Monte-Cristo, A Little Something Extra and Beating Hearts.
As of October, ticket sales are down 14.9% in 2025 compared to 2024. French films represent 38% of movies screened in the country as opposed to more than 46% last year, according to the National Centre for Cinema and the Moving Image.
