Raking in 1.6 million euros from about 250,000 sold tickets, the Cannes nominee accomplished the unexpected feat of becoming the most successful African picture directed by a woman at the French box office. The more fascinating and telling Arab success story from last year was the equally remarkable commercial success of French/Algerian Mounia Meddour’s debut feature, “Papicha,” at the French box-office. The unprecedented triumph of Labaki’s refugee drama – the most commercially successful Arab film of all time – was regarded as a watershed moment for Arab movies: a sign of the expanding reach of a cinema that has often been lumped in the niche art-house market.
The big Arab success story of 2019 was the colossal box-office success of Lebanese Nadine Labaki’s Oscar-nominated third feature, “Capernaum,” which raked in $64 million worldwide, $50 million of which were grossed in China alone.
