Le Comte de Monte-Cristo keeps Leading French Box Office
After more than 2 months of exploitation, the movie still has attracted more than 350 000 viewers last weekend, being again the number one in France.
Last year, a two-part version of Alexandre Dumas’ The Three Musketeers hit local screens.
Directed by Martin Bourboulon and featuring a who’s who of Gallic stars, including Vincent Cassel, Eva Green, Romain Duris and Louis Garrel, the Musketeers movies were marked by nonstop action and relentless storytelling tailor-made for the streaming age. Both films were written by the duo of Matthieu Delaporte and Alexandre de la Patellière, who previously helmed a series of hit comedies with a fast-paced Hollywood edge to them.
They bring the same approach to The Count of Monte Cristo, another certified Dumas classic condensed into three-hour epic filled with plenty of whiplash intrigue.
The movie is set to be released as well throughout Latin America starting with Mexico on the 10th of October. Have a look at the trailer here!
