Canal+ Box-Office

Background
Canal+ Box-Office is a premium cinema channel part of Canal+'s offerings which launched on September 1st 2023. It is the 3rd cinema-themed channel from Canal+ after Canal+ Cinéma and Canal+ Grand Ecran. Launched the same day as the former's rebranding, Canal+ Box-Office showcases well-known movies, in a similar fashion to Grand Ecran. In contrast to the latter's focus on cult classics however, Box-Office focuses on recent movies up to 6 months after their theatrical debut. True to the channel's name, the movies showcased are also box office hits.

1st Logo (2023-)
Logo: We see a prop held above the ground with strings, comprised of a number of multi-colored discs, in multiple angles. In the end, the angle changes so that the discs converge together as one, with the +BOX OFFICE text appearing on the right with a multicolored + before the rest of the text fades in with a multicolored after-image. The text then settles in white.

Variants:
 * Each ident showcases the prop in different angles. For more traditional variants, idents exist with either a black or a white background.
 * The sign-on is essentially an extended showcase of the prop with both backgrounds and in a number of different angles.
 * Strands such as "Hollywood Studios" and "Home Cinéma" have more elaborate edits, while still using the regular format of the idents with the different angles of the prop. The titles of these strands have one word in the font used for Canal+'s "Cinéma" intros since 2003 and the other in Futura.

Logo Trivia: The prop bears a striking ressemblance to the main channel's first on-air logo, with the use of multicolored discs.

Technique: Live-action for the prop, CGI for the text's animation.

Music/Sounds: A retro pop theme with a female choir, using synth and beats. Music/Sounds Variants:
 * An extended version is used for the sign-on, with additional piano and violins.
 * The main theme is rearranged in different ways for each ident.

Availability: Several idents, the launch promo, a trailer and intros to several strands have been preserved on archival websites so far. Although, this could change at any moment due to the channel being quite recent.
