Guadeloupean Thriller 'Zion' Achieves Box Office Success in France

Nelson Foix's debut feature film, the thriller 'Zion,' has become a surprise hit in France. In its first week, the film attracted over 100,000 viewers. This confirms its success after a strong initial release in the Antilles.

'Zion' outperformed larger productions like 'Moon, the Panda' and 'The Amateur.' This occurred despite initial doubts from distributors. The film's release strategy involved a large launch overseas, followed by a broader release in metropolitan multiplexes, which proved effective.

The film's success underscores a growing trend of films from overseas territories reaching wider audiences. Effective marketing and social media engagement are helping cinema from these regions to make history.
