Belmondo once again beats his own record for opening week admissions in Paris with 468,000 tickets sold.
3rd highest grossing movie of its year in France, with 4,956,822 tickets sold.
With this movie, Jean-Paul Belmondo is at the top of his career's commercial success; the film reached one million tickets sold in Paris and its surroundings in only five weeks, like Ace of Aces (1982) the previous year. After that, his movies saw a slow decline until The Loner (1987), at which point he stopped making supercop movies.
