Michel Côté has paid off at the box office yet again, where his buddy cop comedy De père en flic has shot past the $3 million mark after less than two weeks.

The Alliance Vivafilm release completed its first full week in Quebec cinemas on Thursday, where it pulled in $2.4 million from 121 mostly French-language screens. The picture debuted partway through the previous week, on July 8, during which it netted a startling $570,000, according to data from the MPTAC.

The comedy, produced by Cinémaginaire’s Denise Robert and Daniel Louis, stars Côté (C.R.A.Z.Y., the Cruising Bar films) and Louis-José Houde (Bon Cop, Bad Cop) as father and son cops forced to work together, despite deep-seated differences.

It was far and away the top domestic film for the week ending July 16, and the fifth-placed title overall, coming in just behind Paramount’s Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, and ahead of the Disney picture The Proposal.

The teen-aimed A vos marques… Party! 2 followed at number 20 overall, apparently cooling after its five-week, $1.3 million run though E1 Entertainment and Seville.

Further down the chart, Mongrel Media’s release of the U.K. import Moon made gains in its second week, expanding to nine screens and upping its weekly take to some $81,000, while Maple Pictures enjoyed the explosive arrival of the Iraq-set The Hurt Locker, a U.S. indie which drew a very impressive $32,000 from its single screen in Toronto.
