The comedy has been riding strong buzz and solid word-of-mouth that began with its well-received world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival last month; it has earned more than $16 million domestic so far and is in its fifth week on U.S. screens. Last week, it finished No. 8 at the box office.

Good for Woody. A fun film that deserves a wide release.
Well deserved. ‘Midnight in Paris’ was original, a lot of fun and Woody’s best in several years.
i like most of his films but this was my favorite one in a long time… so much fun
and it’s gonna be a bigger hit than vicky cristina barcelona which made 96 million worldwide
this one is def gonna go over 100 million
MIDNIGHT IN PARIS is a shoe-in for a best picture oscar nomination
Midnight in Paris is a delightful film… Bravo Sony Classics for giving it a wider audience.
A fantastic film that is easy to get caught up in. It’s going to get a lot of nominations, good for team Woody! Go support good cinema!
Great great movie. Agreed best picture nomination, also best actor nom for Owen Wilson. Unbelievable film.
This could actually be his biggest film ever. And, crazy as it sounds, get to $100 million.
Hell of a great film.
Had no idea what it was about when I walked in, and just LOVED it.
Funny without trying too hard. Touching, Went in very unexpected directions time and again.
And very original – which is amazing for a man who has made so many films.
Few films take me away any more. This one did.
paid blog comments?
husband cheating on wife storyline? Yawn.
“terrible use of some really talented actors, by an old philandering pedophile director”…would be a more truthful statement to sell this movie.
Is this not the first Woody Allen film not to be marketed as such? The TV spot doesn’t mention the fact; the only trace is in small print on the final card.
