The villains of the “Taken” saga know this.
And France 2 lost the battle against the actor this Sunday.
Result: TF 1 took first place in the audiences thanks to the new American action film “Blacklight” by Mark Williams.
This attracted 3.97 million moviegoers, or 20.8% of the general public and 23.8% of women responsible for purchases under the age of fifty.
A great feat for a feature film which had totaled 167,000 admissions when it was released in theaters in February 2022.
France 2 therefore finds itself second with the new French comedy-drama “En corps”.
This production by Cédric Klapisch, led by Marion Barbeau, Hofesh Shechter and Denis Podalydès, attracted 2.65 million viewers for 13.9% market share.
When it was released on the big screen in March 2022, it had 1.40 million seats occupied.
France 3 defends itself with an Irish mini-series

However, after a good launch, the fiction misled no less than 700,000 curious people in one week.
M 6 is at the foot of the podium with a special issue of its economic magazine “Capital”, presented by Julien Courbet.
This documentary proposing solutions for the planet interested 1.80 million viewers, for a 9.6% market share among the general public and 17.1% among housewives under the age of fifty.
Slightly less than for the previous issue, scheduled two weeks earlier.
Furthermore, just before “Capital”, Six offered a special program with RTL, entitled “Farmers, the crisis”.
This edition presented by Karine Le Marchand brought together 2.08 million people on average, with 9.8% audience share across all audiences and 17.3% for the commercial target.
Among the other channels, Arte is doing well with the rebroadcast of the American policeman “Inside Man”.
