After already breaking a box-office record, the French comedy Bienvenue chez les Ch'tis has now broken an attendance record, too. Pathé, the film's distributor, reported Wednesday that theaters in France have recorded 17.5 million admissions, breaking a record for a homemade French film set in 1965 by the wartime comedy La grande vadrouille. The all-time attendance champ in France is Titanic, which sold 20.7 million tickets. "Now we can steam ahead and sink the boat," Pathé distribution chief Henri Demoulin told the French wire service Agence France Presse. The film, which cost $17 million to produce, has grossed $163 million after six weeks.
