French Films at the UK Box Office
by Andre Soares
Via The Guardian: "When was the last time you saw a French film at the cinema? Perhaps you marched to the box office along with the penguins. Or maybe you watched Daniel Auteuil sink into paranoia in Hidden.
"But if you’re an average British filmgoer you most probably haven’t seen either. Where Hollywood blockbusters currently account for 63% of the UK market, French cinema has traditionally struggled to reach even 1%. Last year, its share rose for the first time to over 2% and that was considered an amazing triumph. Champions of French cinema are now hoping to build on this modest success."
