It is followed by the fourth part of the
John Wick
saga (411,000 spectators) from Lionsgate studios.
Keanu Reeves is once again headlining there, as a hitman fighting an international criminal group.
The film owes much of its choreography to its director Chad Stahelski, himself a former stuntman.
Alongside Keanu Reeves are Donnie Yen, Bill Skarsgard and Laurence Fishburne.
Third place goes to
Mon crime
by director François Ozon, with stars like Isabelle Huppert, Fabrice Luchini and Dany Boon.
After three weeks of release, the film is approaching one million admissions (909,409).

saga and the first without Sylvester Stallone, with 143,505 admissions.
