A little extra thing: Artus comedy with 10 million admissions will be entitled to several foreign remakes, good or bad idea? – Actus cinema

In June 2024, Artus evoked a project to remake his comedy phenomenon a little extra thing, without giving more details on the subject. Today, we learn good news about it thanks to Deadline.

According to the American media, Sony Pictures acquired the rights of remake in English, Spanish, Portuguese and Arabic of the successful film. Thus, the studio will take care of the distribution of these works for the United States, Spain, Latin America and the Middle East.

This is not a surprise given the incredible success of Artus comedy, number 1 at the French box office in 2024 with 10.8 million admissions! Globally, it has garnered $ 95 million in revenue to date, and several other markets remain to be operated.

In addition little remakes

There will therefore be no question of a single remake in English of a little extra thing, but many versions of the feature film for these different countries. The fabulous fate of the comedy signed Artus therefore continues to write, this time internationally.

However, you should still be careful. As we mentioned last June, that is not to say that it will succeed, because the American remake of the Dinner of Cons was released until 2010, when that of Bienvenue at the Ch'tis fell into the water.

But the possibility is now there, and the journey of a little thing is not ready to stop. We wish him to have the same fate as the total, which has become true under the leadership of James Cameron.

Skeptical artus?

For his part, Artus does not seem really convinced by the idea of ​​a remake, as he confided at the microphone of crude Last February. “I said to my producers but hey … I think it's not very clever. For me, it's a film where you can't buy the rights because you can't redo the same film, you have to cast the actors”underlines the director.

“You can't find a fan of Johnny Hallyday, Michael Jackson, who you want …”notably evoking the role of Arnaud, fan of Dalida. “You have to cast your team and build the film around, so it's complicated to make a remake, it seems a bit of a snack”he said.

Pan Distribution

For the record, a little extra thing presents a son and his father on the run after the burglary of a jewelry store.

To escape the police, they are forced to find refuge in a summer camp for young adults with disabilities, posing as a resident and his specialized educator. The beginning of the bother and a formidable human experience that will change them forever.
