Joachim Trier's latest film, 'Affection Value,' has made waves in the cinema world by breaking historical records in ticket sales. With nine Oscar nominations boosting its profile, the film has attracted audiences globally, with producer Maria Ekerhovd announcing that it has been seen by 3.4 million people in theaters around the world. This impressive figure translates to over 30.7 million dollars in ticket sales, reflecting the film's widespread popularity.

This success has led to a significant shift in the box office standings, as 'Affection Value' now overtakes the previously popular 'Kon-Tiki.' The film's appeal is not just limited to Norway, as it draws in audiences from various countries, highlighting its international reach. The recognition from Oscar nominations seems to have had a notable impact, prompting a surge in ticket sales as cinema-goers flock to see the acclaimed production.

Producer Maria Ekerhovd's comments signal the strong interest in Nordic cinema, and this breakthrough may pave the way for more Norwegian films to gain traction on the global stage. The combination of critical acclaim and audience interest suggests that Trier's work is resonating well beyond Norway, thus enhancing the profile of Norwegian cinema in the larger international film market.
