Based on my research, I can provide you with the following financial information about The Umbrellas of Cherbourg:
The film had a budget of $200,000 and generated revenue of $7,600,000
. This represents an exceptional return on investment—approximately 38 times the original budget.
While comprehensive box office breakdowns by territory are difficult to find, the French performance was particularly strong.
The film quickly achieved more than one million admissions in France upon its release
, which was a remarkable achievement for a French film at the time.
The film was an enormous commercial success relative to its modest budget. With a production investment of only $200,000 and a total revenue of $7.6 million, the film was exceptionally profitable. This made it one of the most successful French films ever made relative to its budget.
The film was very successful in France and was also shown internationally
, which contributed significantly to its worldwide earnings.
Unfortunately, detailed breakdowns separating theatrical box office from home video and television licensing revenues are not readily available in historical sources. The $7.6 million total revenue figure likely encompasses all revenue streams from the 1964 release and subsequent re-releases and licensing deals over the decades, making it difficult to determine the exact theatrical vs. ancillary breakdown you requested.
The summary mentions 'more than one million' but could have provided the exact figure (1.27 million).
Small amounts from modern re-releases (e.g., ~$100k total from 2004/2022 releases) are available and could have been cited as the only 'breakdown' data that exists.
The film had a budget of approximately $200,000 (sometimes cited as ~1.3 million Francs, with a specific 120,000 Franc budget for art direction). It generated a reported $7.6 million in box office revenue, though a detailed breakdown between domestic/international or theatrical/ancillary is not publicly available. In France, it sold 1,274,958 tickets. The film was highly profitable, yielding an estimated 38x return on investment.
