City of Heroes left no chance for Interstellar
Walt Disney's City of Heroes took the lead in the US over the weekend with $ 56.2 million. Its main competitor is the science fiction movie "Interstellar", which was directed by Christopher Nolan, despite a massive advertising campaign and a record release in the network of IMAX cinemas, grossed only $ 50 million in North America. This is the worst start for a Christopher Nolan movie since Prestige, and the director's first movie project in 12 years to fail to break through. It is noteworthy that the study of audience expectations made it possible to expect that Interstellar will start at the level of "Gravity", that is, by the end of the first weekend, at least $ 55 million. At the time of this writing, RottenTomatoes has a movie rating of 73 percent, which is also somewhat of an anti-record for Nolan. Unless later the results of "Interstellar" are adjusted downward, it will be only the fourth time in the history of distribution, when two leading projects earned $ 50 million each. The third place was held by the thriller "Gone Girl", which earned another six million dollars and thus increased its American box office to $ 145 million.
