If there is anything to learn about the Québec box office, Québecers like being spoon fed pap, just as much of the ROC (Rest of Canada) does.

Fracture? Georgia Rule?

Tabarnac!

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.
