French production reached a near record with 309 movies produced in 2024 while streamers' investment in local pics rose by 60%, according to the CNC.

French production reached a second all-time record with 309 movies produced in 2024, according to an annual report unveiled by the National Film Board on Tuesday. Pathé has undeniably played a key role in this upward trend with the adventure epic “ The Count of Monte Cristo,” as did Studiocanal with the crime romance “Beating Hearts” — both of which hail from production companies owned by the European powerhouse Mediawan. Out of those eight big-budget movies, three of them were animated features, including “Asterix: The Kingdom of Nubia,” as well as “Urban Jungle” and “High in the Clouds,” Paul McCartney’s anticipated film produced by Gaumont for Netflix.
