The Marsupilami film, starring Philippe Lacheau, has become a major success in French cinema, drawing 6.1 million admissions and ranking as the third highest-grossing film of the year. It trails behind Spider-Man and L'Odyssée, two summer blockbusters, but stands out as the biggest French film of the year. The movie also set a new record for the Fifi gang, a beloved French comedy group known for their quirky sketches and characters. Jérôme Seydoux, President of Pathé, hinted at the possibility of a sequel during an interview with Paris Match. He emphasized the value of strong film licenses, noting that Astérix, a popular French comic character, remains the top license in France and Europe. Pathé plans to create more films centered around Marsupilami following the success of Lacheau's comedy, which brought in over 6 million viewers in French cinemas. While no specific details have been announced yet, the project appears to be well planned for the medium to long term. Philippe Lacheau's team is also working on multiple projects. Their 11th feature film, Somnambule, is set to release in February 2027. This is the fourth film from Tarek Boudali, who previously directed Épouse-moi mon pote (2017), 30 Jours max (2020), and 3 Jours max (2023). The last film, 3 Jours max, attracted nearly 2 million admissions. Somnambule follows Adam, a sleepwalker who wakes up to find Estelle, the daughter of his boss, tied up in his bathroom and must solve the mystery to avoid going to prison. A new sequel to the Alibi.com films is also in development. The first film, released in 2017, attracted 3.6 million spectators in France. Six years later, Alibi.com 2 did even better, drawing 4.2 million admissions, bringing the total to 7.8 million for the series. The third installment is scheduled for release on February 2, 2028, though the plot has not yet been revealed. In addition, a new series called Les Justiciers is being produced for Prime Video by Philippe Lacheau. It will humorously explore how the most unlikely people can become heroes, even if no one really needed them. The series is set to air in 2028. Meanwhile, a documentary series on Fifi et sa bande - c'était pas gagné (4 x 45 minutes) will be broadcast on Canal+ on October 7 and 8 at 21:10, with availability on the Canal+ App. Over the past 30 years, Fifi and his friends, who once created amateur sketches on VHS tapes, have grown into one of the most popular creative teams in French cinema, with more than 30 million admissions combined. Philippe Lacheau will also serve as president of the jury at the next Comedy Film Festival in Alpe d'Huez, which will take place from January 18 to 24, 2027.
