We could tell, the trend was going in this direction but the figures have spoken, "Spider-Man No Way Home" has broken the entry record for a start since the start of the Covid crisis in France.
During the first day of its theatrical release this Wednesday in France: the new opus of the adventures of Peter Parker has already gathered 476,494 spectators during its first twenty-four hours of operation, for 882 copies according to Sony, the studio film producer.
It is obviously at the head of the releases for the year 2021, it is far ahead of the 350,000 entries of "Fast and Furious 9".
"We observe the Spider-Man phenomenon with satisfaction because since the fall the general atmosphere has not been good," said the Parisian, Marc-Olivier Sebbag, general delegate of the National Federation of French cinemas.
Now everything is revealed.

"It shows the enthusiasm of young people for the cinema, the communication of theaters is good on barrier gestures, people are reassured, if we add the good work of the employees of the theaters.
All this combined, contributes to these entries ”added the delegate to the Parisian.
The public therefore responded present in downright festive atmospheres sometimes like Wednesday evening at the Grand Rex.

It is even the best start in France since the release of The Lion King (in live action version), in July 2019. The spider-man also beat “Star Wars Episode IX” and its 391,000 admissions in 2019. Not the half of an achievement.
