While Aurore, L’Horloge biologique and C.R.A.Z.Y. continue to draw at the Quebec box office, La Neuvaine has quietly slipped into the Canadian top five, drawing some big numbers for a small release.

The Bernard Émond drama opened strong on Aug. 26, to a weekend take of about $90,000 from seven screens across Quebec. La Neuvaine drew another $49,350 on nine screens over the Sept. 2 weekend – a per screen average of about $5,500 for a cumulative $139,600 as of Sept. 6. The K-Films Amérique release is about a chance meeting between a suicidal female doctor who recently lost her child and a young man about to lose his grandmother.

Equinoxe Films’ Deluxe Combo Platter hasn’t fared quite as well since its Aug. 26 opening. Vic Sarin’s romantic comedy, starring Marnie Alton, Dave Thomas and Jennifer Tilly, has amassed a cumulative gross of just about $4,000, according to its distributor. As of Aug. 6, it was is still playing on four screens – three in B.C., Sarin’s home turf, and one in Toronto. The film is about a competition between a small-town waitress and a snotty city gal for the affections of a local bachelor.

L’Horloge continues to perform strongly in Quebec, bringing in a per screen average of about $7,400 over the Labour Day weekend for a cumulative $3.5 million in five weeks. It had been sitting atop the box office in Quebec for four weeks, until the Sept. 2 release of The Transporter 2 knocked it down to second.

Aurore and C.R.A.Z.Y. have officially passed the $5-million mark. C.R.A.Z.Y., in its 15th week of release, is still showing on 40 screens and brought in $82,000 over the long weekend, for a cumulative $5.3 million, while Aurore hit $5.2 million, still on 36 screens.

Familia, a Christal Films release that looks at mother-daughter relationships, opens in Quebec on Sept. 16 after its debut at the Toronto International Film Festival.
