On October 7, several films were released, including the sixth film adaptation of Ducobu and the Ghost of Saint-Potache, directed by Élie Semoun. The film is based on the Student Ducobu series created by Zidrou and Godi. The 30th album of the series, Duco... Bouh!, was published on October 9, two days after the film's release. Laure Godi is responsible for the coloring of the album, which, like the film, creates a Halloween atmosphere in Saint-Potache, where Ducobu now uses drones and artificial intelligence to cheat. The publisher launched a special edition of volume 4, The Class Struggle, as early as June 3, which sold approximately 10,000 copies according to NielsenIQ BookData data from the Electre database. Pocket Jeunesse also publishes novels based on the series. In the film, Professor Latouche (Élie Semoun) moves into a haunted house inhabited by the ghost of Anatole, the worst student in the history of the school. The first five films in the series have attracted over 6 million viewers in France, while the latest film, Ducobu Goes Green!, barely exceeded one million admissions in 2024. The audiovisual rights to the series are managed by Mediatoon, the agency of Media Participations directed by Laurent Duvault, who was interviewed by Livres Hebdo in Annecy during the Shoot the Book! event. The film's narrative is drawn from The Social Reckoning by Aaron Sorkin, released on October 7. Broken Code by Jeff Horwitz (Doubleday, 2023) is credited in the film's credits alongside Aaron Sorkin. Jeff Horwitz, a journalist for the Wall Street Journal, extended the "Facebook Files," a series of articles published in 2021 based on internal documents provided by whistleblower Frances Haugen. The book has been translated into Spanish and German but remains unpublished in French. Mikey Madison portrays Frances Haugen, and Jeremy Allen White plays the journalist. Jeremy Strong takes over the role of Mark Zuckerberg, previously played by Jesse Eisenberg in 2010. Fifteen years after The Social Network, adapted from the book The Accidental Billionaires by Ben Mezrich, Aaron Sorkin returns to Facebook, this time as a screenwriter and director. The robot chat from the future was born in 1969 under the pen of Doraemon and the Submarine Castle, by Tetsuo Yajima, released on October 7. Fujiko F.

Doraemon offers Nobita and his friends a camping trip at the bottom of the ocean, where they discover an unknown world. The screenplay is signed by Isao Murayama. This 45th animated feature film of the franchise, released in Japan on February 27, is a remake of a 1983 film. This film itself was adapted from one of the long stories that Fujiko F. Fujio dedicated each year to cinema. A Latvian animated film, inspired by Joyeuse Jungle! by Edmunds Jansons, was released on October 7.
