Usually, those last times averaged between 10 or 18 visits per day, which was already an increase, but THAT was something else!
Explanation: John Carter was aired at 8.45 pm May the 2nd on the French channel Ciné+ Premier, and apparently many web users thus searched for the eventual movie sequel! 77% of the visits relate to this page (link to the equivalent in English):

Welcome to all these visitors, hoping that they will be fan enough of John Carter to sign the petition and take part in the campaign to try to convince Disney to greenlight "Gods of Mars"!
