PARIS -- French cinema group Gaumont posted full-year 2005 results Tuesday, unveiling an 18% hike in revenue from the previous year to 100.2 million ($119.2 million) along with a 21.7% drop in net profit to 7.2 million ($8.5 million). The group attributed the mixed results to the hit-or-miss nature of its film slate. The strong theatrical performances of Palais Royale!, a comedy inspired by Europe's royals (2.7 million admissions), and Je vous trouve tres beau (You Are So Beautiful), about a French farmer who seeks a Romanian girl to replace his dead wife (2.3 million entries since January), were weighed down by a pair of expensive flops -- Eric Lartigau's Un ticket pour l'espace (A Ticket to Outer Space) and Eric Valli's La Piste (The Trail), the company said. Brisk video sales of Alain Berberian's The Corsica File, starring Jean Reno and Christian Clavier, and 36 Quai des Orfevres, starring Daniel Auteuil and Gerard Depardieu, helped profits, while catalog sales grew 31.7% to 47.7 million ($56.7 million).
