FAQ
French Box Office 2024: Questions & Answers
The chart's numbers in short: the #1 film, the total, the billion-dollar hits and the US & Canada share, answered from the same 113 films as the chart.
What is the highest-grossing French-language movie in 2024?
The Count of Monte-Cristo (2024) leads with $85.9M worldwide, $529.8K of it in the US & Canada. Next come A Little Something Extra (2024) at $84.4M and Beating Hearts (2024) at $36.3M.
How much did French-language movies released in 2024 earn?
113 French-language films released in 2024 report a worldwide gross, $432.1M in all, or $3.8M per film on average. 2023 releases took $333.7M.
How many French-language movies released in 2024 made $1 billion?
None. The biggest, The Count of Monte-Cristo (2024), earned $85.9M.
How is the 2024 French box office chart ranked and where do the numbers come from?
Films are ranked by lifetime worldwide gross in US dollars, not adjusted for inflation, and grouped by their release date in 2024. The figures are the reported box office grosses in our database. A gross that looks misattributed, such as one figure shared by two unrelated films or a blockbuster total on an obscure title, is left out rather than shown as a fact, and so are films whose stored language is most likely wrong.
How often is the 2024 French box office chart updated?
Grosses change while films are in theaters and whenever a new figure is reported; this chart reads the latest numbers in our database, so an older film can still move after a re-release.
