US Box Office: ”Glass” is bulletproof
Sunday, when the Super Bowl is held, is almost a national holiday in the United States, and all the attention of Americans is riveted on this event. That is why distributors did not expect any outstanding results over the past weekend. Moreover, the weekend showed an anti-record for the last 19 years of the Super Bowl: the top 12 films grossed only $ 55.4 million. The situation was worse in 2000, when the thriller "The Witness" sat at the top of the box office. In general, the North American rental did not bring any surprises, and the only change in the top 5 was the hit of the action "Miss Bullet".The top five for the weekend (February 1-3) is as follows: 1. "Glass"  Week at the box office: 3 Added: $ 9.5 million Total box office: $ 88.7 million Sank / Rise: - (-49.5%) For the third week in a row, M. Night Shyamalan's film prevents competitors, of whom there are not so many, from breaking through to the top. Together with the $ 110 million earned by the film outside of the United States, Glass has $ 199 million, which is the worst result of the director's superhero trilogy so far, and even Invincible, without taking into account inflation, collected much more - $ 248.1 million. 2. "1 + 1: A Hollywood Story"  Week at the box office: 4 Added: $ 8.9 million Total box office: $ 75.6 million Sank / Rise: - (-25.9%) Few expected the English-language version of 1 + 1 to float so well. Over the past three weeks, Neil Berger's film has lost a maximum of 26% of viewers, despite the fact that it received rather conflicting reviews in the press. Thanks to the STX studio, the tape practically did not suffer from the scandal with Harvey Weinstein, reached the rental after a year and a half of waiting and reached the level of self-sufficiency. 3. "Miss Bullet"  Week at the box office: 1 Added: $ 6.7 million Total box office: $ 6.7 million Sank / Rise: - (-) The only novelty of the weekend started from third place. It is a remake of the Mexican hit of the same name, which was nominated for an Oscar by her country in 2011. It seemed that the studio Sony chose the right moment for the premiere, but the American "Miss Bullet" loses to the original. Director Catherine Hardwicke turned the dark and controversial story into a fairy tale about emancipation, which has already set the teeth on edge for the modern viewer. With such a weak start, the action is unlikely to recoup its $ 15 million budget. 4. "Aquaman"  Week at the box office: 7 Added: $ 4.8 million Total box office: $ 323.6 million Sank / Rise: -1 (-34.1%) While James Wan ponders ideas for a sequel, Aquaman continues to empty the pockets of viewers. DC's most successful blockbuster currently has $ 1.1 billion worldwide. 5. "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse"  Week at the box office: 8 Added: $ 4.4 million Total box office: $ 175.3 million Sank / Rise: - (-27.8%) The animated film about Spider-Man is a prime example of the survival of the fittest at the box office. For eight weeks, the cartoon has not left the top 5, and now rightfully bears the title of the highest grossing creation of the Sony Animation studio in the USA, which, however, cannot be said about the global box office - Spider-Man is only seventh on this list, and defeat The Smurfs with their $ 563.7 million he will not succeed.
