Most visitors went to the Barbiemovie, followed by Oppenheimer. For both it was the first weekend that the films were shown. Also previously released movies like Mission: Impossible Dead Reckoning Part One, Elemental and Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny did well. Pathé does not give exact figures.
So far, the weekend of 28 and 29 December 2019 has been the best weekend for Pathé. Then was Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker just seen in the cinema.
