There is a lull in the US box office
The week after Thanksgiving is considered a quiet week in the North American box office, and therefore one should not expect high-profile premieres during this period. Last weekend (November 30 - December 2), only one film debuted, the horror film "Obsession with Hannah Grace", but it did not even manage to break into the top 5. In general, the situation in the top five remained the same with only one small difference: the Grinch and Adonis Creed changed places. This state of affairs will continue until mid-December, as after the announcement of the nominees for the Golden Globe, the representatives of independent cinema will try to make limited distributions, and it is unlikely that any of these dramas will reach the top of the financial rating.The first position was retained by the cartoon "Ralph Against the Internet" - an additional $ 25.8 million went to his piggy bank. For the third year in a row, the weekend after Thanksgiving remains with the Disney studio: the predecessors of the second "Ralph" were "The Secret of Coco" and "Moana". The sequel grossed $ 119.3 million in home theaters and $ 207 million globally.  The leadership of the second "Ralph" is understandable. The first part, released in 2012, took viewers through the colorful world of arcade games and showed how their characters live, how their relationships with each other develop. In the sequel, directors Rich Moore and Phil Johnston have already presented their vision of the Internet, which looks no less tempting than an arcade game. Like other Disney cartoons, Ralph Against the Internet boasts a touching and emotional story at the heart of the plot, and well-crafted characters make the picture interesting for viewers of all ages.  The Grinch moved up to the second line, earning another $ 17.7 million. Now the cartoon has $ 203.5 million in its assets, which allowed it to become the eighth project of the Illumination studio to break the $ 200 million mark. Among the adaptations of Dr. There are only three Grinchs: in addition to the 2018 film, the Grinch Stole Christmas ($ 260 million) with Jim Carrey in the title role and Lorax ($ 214 million) from the same Illumination crossed this milestone.  "Creed 2" last weekend was content with the third position: the box office of the sports drama replenished by $ 16.8 million. While the film by Stephen Capel Jr. boasts an amount of $ 81.2 million, and it is still ahead of the first part by about $ 17 million, although critics could argue with this alignment. In their opinion, Creed 2 is a well-filmed drama, but the sequel falls short of Rocky's Legacy, which is the successor to the iconic franchise.  On the fourth line, the second "Fantastic Beasts" are bored, which the Americans did not receive too warmly. Despite the fact that over the weekend, viewers were in favor of films for a family audience, they preferred to give money for watching cartoons, ignoring the fantasy about Newt Scamander. David Yates' painting showed the largest drop in audience in the top 10, almost 62%, and spent only $ 11.2 million. pentalogy about fantastic creatures. On the other hand, the tape has been leading the foreign box office for the third week in a row, and at the worldwide box office it grossed $ 519.6 million, which, again, is much less than the result of the first part. Closes the top five "Bohemian Rhapsody". Viewers spent another $ 8.1 million to hear the immortal hits of Queen on the big screens. In total, the musical biopic managed to collect $ 164.4 million at home and $ 375.1 million outside the United States. The Topic of Article: There is a lull in the US box office. |
