Commercial success of La Bataille de Gaulle film

Overview

The French war epic “La Bataille de Gaulle,” directed by Antonin Baudry, has achieved significant commercial success in France. Initially experiencing a modest start at the box office, the two-part production gained momentum through strong word-of-mouth.

By late August, the film series had surpassed 5 million admissions. The first installment, “L’Age de fer,” recorded over 2.7 million admissions, while the second, “J’ecris ton nom,” saw more than 2.2 million. By early September, total viewership reached 5.6 million.

Following this success, the National Centre for Cinema (CNC) has shortlisted the film as one of five potential entries to represent France for Best International Feature Film at the 2027 Oscars.
