The USA Box Office spoke the magic word
The past weekend in the North American box office, as expected, ended with the victory of the new superhero blockbuster DC comics. "Shazam!" has collected twice as much of its closest competitor, the new film adaptation of Pet Sematary, but only at the end of the month, after the release of the fourth Avengers, it will become clear whether this April will be able to compete with last year.The top five for the weekend (April 5-7) is as follows: 1. "Shazam!"  Week at the box office: 1 Added: $ 53.5 million Total box office: $ 56.8 million Sank / Rise: - (-) The movie comic, released under the banner of New Line, was initially positioned as a film for a family audience, and this strategy has borne fruit. Critics were satisfied with the picture, the audience gave it a high mark A. The main thing is that "Shazam!" managed to collect a decent amount (according to forecasts about $ 160 million) in the few weeks that remained before the release of The Avengers. 2. "Pet Cemetery"  Week at the box office: 1 Added: $ 25 million Total box office: $ 25 million Sank / Rise: - (-) The new film adaptation of Stephen King's novel has kicked off as expected, and for a $ 21 million horror movie, it's a good start. If you do not take into account "It" with its exorbitant fees for the genre, then "Pet Sematary" is the best film adaptation of King in terms of debut performance. If we take horror films as a whole, then about the same began their trip to the cinemas "Evil Dead: Black Book", "Halloween 2007" and "Amityville Horror". All of them ended up rolling in the region of $ 55- $ 65 million. 3. "Dumbo"  Week at the box office: 2 Added: $ 18.2 million Total box office: $ 76.3 million Sank / Rise: -2 (-60.4%) Tim Burton's picture lost more than half of its viewers in a week, and this is its similarity to the failed "Alice Through the Looking Glass". So far, "Dumbo" is also far from success, and $ 76 million in home theaters with a budget of $ 170 million is clearly not what Disney studio expected from a flying elephant. The tape may get out of the financial trap thanks to foreign viewers who have already brought in $ 137.5 million to its piggy bank. 4. "We"  Week at the box office: 3 Added: $ 13.8 million Total box office: $ 152.4 million Sank / Rise: -2 (-58.4%) Through the fault of "Pet Sematary", the horror film by Jordan Peel has lost a decent share of the audience, which, however, did not prevent him from entering the five highest grossing R-rated films in the history of the American box office. By the way, the fourth place is just a stone's throw away - last year's "Halloween" ($ 159.3 million) will be surpassed by the Saw horror movie. 5. "Captain Marvel"  Week at the box office: 5 Added: $ 12.7 million Total box office: $ 374.1 million Sag / Rise: -2 (-38.6%) Captain Marvel is currently ranked eighth in the United States among all the films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and Carol Danvers' closest neighbor is the second Guardians of the Galaxy. However, if you look at the global box office, then the superheroine with her $ 1.03 billion landed a little higher - in seventh place.
