US Boxing Office: Americans Prefer Cartoons
Another quiet weekend (December 7-9) ended in the North American box office. Distributors are looking forward to Christmas, when US residents flock to the theaters and certainly make the box office, but for now movie fans have to be content with proven films.As many suspected, Ralph Against the Internet and the Grinch went head to head over the weekend in the fight for leadership in the US box office. The winner of this duel was the hero of an arcade game who got into the world of modern technology. The second "Ralph" raised another $ 16.1 million, and its home grossing is now $ 140.9 million. The sequel at this stage is slightly ahead of "The Secret of Coco", but 2% behind the results of "Moana". This allows us to assume that the trip to the cinemas will complete the cartoon at the level of $ 215-240 million, that is, bypass the first part, which earned $ 189.4 million. Residents of other countries gave $ 117.3 million to watch the adventures of Ralph and his girlfriend Vanilopa von Keks. to which foreign viewers gave $ 281.8 million.  The Grinch was content with the second place, although it lagged behind its main rival quite a bit. The green grumbler put an additional $ 15.2 million in the piggy bank.With the amount of $ 223.5 million, the cartoon lags behind among all the projects of the Illumination studio, although he will be able to recoup the $ 75 million budget, especially since analysts predict the total amount of $ 250 million for the film.  It is noteworthy that for the first time in the history of the box office, for the second week in a row, the first two places in the financial rating are occupied by animated films. Once at the top of the top-5, "Brave" and "Madagascar 3", "Beowulf" and "Bee Movie: Honey Plot", "Incredibles" and "Polar Express", as well as "The Adventures of Flick" and "Little Babies" , but this state of affairs remained unshakable for only a week. And by next weekend, three representatives of the genre will be able to see three representatives of the genre at once in the top 10, because the movie "Spider-Man: Through the Universes", which recently received a nomination for "Golden Globe", will also be released.  "Creed 2" also did well: the drama of Stephen Capele Jr. raised $ 10.3 million, which allowed her to get close to the $ 100 million mark, which should submit to the sequel by next weekend. The second part will probably repeat the achievement of "Rocky Legacy" with its $ 109.8 million, but in the world box office the gap between the films is great. While the first Creed could boast of $ 173.6 million, the second is still being modest: it has only $ 119.7 million.  "Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald" in its fourth week at the box office is still in the top five, but this is not due to the outstanding achievements of the film by David Yates, but to the lack of competition. It is unlikely that with the availability of new products, the sequel would have made it into the top 5, earning $ 6.8 million over the weekend. With a $ 200 million budget, the picture mastered only $ 145.2 million. To the great joy of Warner Bros., the tape has collected much more outside the United States, which saves her from being on the box office list of 2018.  Bohemian Rhapsody continues to draw crowds at movie shows, as if at a rock concert. Despite the fact that the drama has been at the box office for six weeks, its audience has decreased by only a quarter, and the tape's assets turned out to be another $ 6 million. In total, the film has mastered $ 173.6 million in the United States, which allowed it to become the highest grossing musical biopic in the entire the history of the US box office, and in terms of the amount of box office receipts ($ 596.6 million), he entered the top ten at the end of the year.
