news culture After failing in France, finally a good surprise for Asterix and Obelix Middle Empire on Netflix
Absolutely irreducible, our famous Gauls are now conquering Netflix and a priori everything seems to be going well: Asterix and Obelix, the Middle Kingdom, is achieving excellent results on the famous VOD platform.
Asterix & Obelix: Empire of the Box offix
We know: Asterix and Obelix The Middle Kingdom did not have the expected success in the cinema. Guillaume Cannet’s film that cost the huge trifle of $72 million (or 65 million dollars, to put it more clearly), had to sell at least six million tickets to cover costs and increase profitability.
The catch is, given the chilly reviews, the film clearly didn’t do as well as the director and production hoped. The feature film is currently running in front of 4,598,637 spectators in France (it’s still showing in some cinemas!) for Grossed $44.6 million at the box office. Ouch.
Asterix and Obelix: Mission Netflix
Inevitably, before the break, we better understand why The film has recently become available on Netflix. And the company can rejoice in signing a check for the lease, because Asterix & Obelix The Middle Empire is already doing very well on the VOD platform!
Sort of, according to the information shared by Netflix, The feature film has been viewed more than 5,790,000 hours, ranking fifth among non-English language films worldwide Service that also appears in the top 10 of no less than fourteen different countries.
The irony is that none of this has anything to do with France, because with the current media chronology, all films have to wait a long time after their arrival in cinemas to be released in France. So for now Asterix & Obelix The Middle Kingdom is more of an international success than a local success. Sure, good for him.
