“” remained at the top of the box office podium for Polish films until last weekend. On October 25, it was announced that the film had already been seen by over 712,000 viewers, and this is not the last word of this production.
“The Green Border” with a huge audience
The result of over 700,000 viewers since the premiere is completely unique considering Polish conditions and a Polish film. In 2023, only now, after last weekend, “Chłopi” overtook “Green Border” in the race for the largest audience, and this production will probably win this year. organized against him by the authorities, “The Green Border” gathered real crowds in cinemas.
Right after the film’s premiere at the end of September, it was the film of the weekend – it gathered over 136,000 viewers and remained on the podium in this respect for a long time. Later, the Cinema Festival with record-breaking interest contributed a lot to the attendance. .
The pre-election anti-campaign organized by the government against the film was also important. Politicians talked about “The Green Border”, offending not only the creators, but also the viewers. As if in response to the slogan “only pigs sit in the cinema”, they flocked to the screens.
Effect? Similar to the results of the parliamentary elections. Even though the government took political action against the production, viewers went to cinemas to see for themselves whether the production was anti-Polish.
“Chłopi” knocks “Green Border” out of first place
However, the phenomenal result of “The Green Border” must give way to another title. After the last weekend, the winner’s laurels passed into the hands of the Oscar-winning production. The film has already been seen by over 750,000 viewers and will most likely break the magic mark of one million in Poland. It doesn’t look like it will be eaten by any Christmas movie – these productions loved by Poles always attract a large audience. This year, however, we will not see another installment of “Letters to M.” in cinemas during the holidays, so it can be assumed that the order of the Polish box office 2023 will be as follows: “Chłopi” in first place, “Zielona granica” in second place, and third place “About a dog who rode a railway”.
