Significant attendance figures which also benefited from the Film Festival, from Sunday to Wednesday, and its 4 euro tickets.

By way of comparison,

Coupez

by Michel Hazanavicius, with Romain Duris, and

Brother and Sister

by Arnaud Desplechin, with Marion Cotillard, two French films presented at the Cannes Film Festival, respectively attracted 100,000 and 73,000 spectators in 7 days, during their first week in theaters.

Salam

, "peace" in Arabic, was even "the most seen in theaters on Friday July 1, thus propelling it to No. 1 at the box office", underlines Brut in its press release.

In the documentary that she co-directed, Diam's comes out of a 12-year media silence to deliver her truth and talk about her suicide attempts, her internment, her conversion to Islam and her foundation dedicated to orphans in Mali... Apart from an incursion into an empty Zenith in Paris, the film is not about music.

The 40-year-old presents herself veiled and covered from head to toe.

The film is split into two parts: the unhappiness of showbiz times and the aftermath.

The film will be broadcast in September on the paid online platform BrutX.
