Quebec Box Office - April 20-26

If you ever wondered how The Rest of Canada (TROC) compares to Quebec in terms of box office take from week to week, here is your answer.

1 FRACTURE Vivafilm 452,697
2 DISTURBIA Paramount 153,315
3 VACANCY Sony 150,120
4 PERFECT STRANGER Sony 134,646
5 A VOS MARQUES... PARTY! Christal Films 127,055
6 SHOOTER Paramount 102,454
7 ARE WE DONE YET? Sony 98,251
8 LA VIE EN ROSE Tva Films 75,833
9 MOLIERE Christal Films 72,088
10 NE LE DIS A PERSONNE Films Seville 65 894

In Canadian dollars.

What is interesting is that only one film, A VOS MARQUES... PARTY! of the four French language films is actually from Quebec. The rest are releases from France.

It also goes to show, if you have a horror/thriller make sure you subtitle it and open it in Quebec theatres. The top 4 films are dominated by them, despite Hot Fuzz and Blades of Glory being the top comedies in TROC.
