What happens

The Count of Monte Cristo (French: Le Comte de Monte-Cristo) is a 2024 French historical action adventure film based on the 1844 novel by Alexandre Dumas. Adapted and directed by Matthieu Delaporte and Alexandre de La Patellière, the film stars Pierre Niney as Edmond Dantès. The Count of Monte Cristo had its world premiere at the 77th Cannes Film Festival on May 22, 2024, and was released theatrically in France a month later by Pathé. With a budget estimated at €42.9 million, the film was the most expensive French production of 2024. It sold over 9 million admissions in France, where it was the second highest-grossing film of 2024 and grossed $100 million worldwide.
