This is what I call a strong end to the year in Polish cinema. With a general lack of foreign hits, Polish films take precedence. In the fall, “The Green Border” quite unexpectedly exceeded the magical mark of half a million viewers, and quickly became the most watched Polish film this year. However, after last weekend, another production took the lead.
“Peasants” ate “The Green Border”. A change on the podium of the Polish box office
that there can only be one king. “” DK Welchman and Hugh Welchman recorded an audience of over 750,000 people. This is the best result for a Polish film this year. What’s more, this is not the last word of this production – crowds still flock to cinemas to see “Chłopów”. There is no doubt that the barrier of one million viewers will be broken – and soon.
In the meantime, however, we are waiting for the official announcement of the nominations for next year’s Oscars. It will only take place on January 23. Over 50 films from around the world will compete with “The Peasants” for the title of best international film.
The result of “Chłopów” is pleasing, but it is still far from being the record holder
Although “Ch³opi” already has a result at a level that guarantees first place in terms of the number of viewers in 2023, they are still a long way from being the record holders. The production would have to attract an audience of several million to be able to compete with hits from years ago. The list of the most frequently watched Polish films in cinemas included the classics: “With Fire and Sword” from 1999 with an audience of over seven million, and “Pan Tadeusz” from the same year (over 6 million viewers). In recent years, between subsequent parts of the Christmas hit “Letters to M.” (each subsequent production only became more popular) Poles flocked to cinemas to see “Clergy” (2018, over 5 million viewers). As you can see, “Chłopi” still has some work to do.
