Charlie Hebdo now printing 7 million copies

The magazine’s French distributor, MLP, has been tryingmostly unsuccessfullyto keep pace with demand.

Roughly one million copies each were distributed on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Technical problems limited the number of copies available in France over the weekend, so it’ll take several days to reach the 5 million mark.

On Saturday, MLP boosted the planned total to 7 million.

The French newspaper Le Figaro called it “a record in the history of the French press.”
