While this year was a slightly gloomy one for cinemas in France, with attendance significantly down compared to 2024, the huge success of two Disney blockbusters at the end of 2025 has given hope to the sector for the year ahead.
Nearly 157 million tickets were sold in French cinemas this year, according to figures released on Wednesday by the National Centre for Cinema and Moving Images (CNC) – well below the 181 million tickets sold last year.
