US Boxing Office Sings Praises to Black Panther
For the first time, the idea to make a film about Black Panther appeared in the early 90s. Then Wesley Snipes was going to play the ruler of the fictional state of Wakanda, but no matter how much the actor tried to implement the project, obstacles constantly arose in his way. As a result, the producers felt that T'Challa at that time was not popular enough for a separate solo album. Many years later, Black Panther finally made it to the big screens, and the first week in the US box office for the blockbuster was truly triumphant.In three days of the past weekend (February 16-18), Ryan Coogler's painting grossed $ 192 million, showing one of the best starts in box office history. At the same time, Black Panther also has a holiday Monday in reserve, and analysts predict that the band's sales will grow to $ 218 million. The film comics showed the best debut in February, beating Deadpool by $ 60 million. A lot of "Black Panther" has earned outside of its native cinemas: in other countries, its receipts are equal to $ 169 million, and this despite the fact that in several key markets, including USA and China, the blockbuster did not even premiere.  Even before the ban on the publication of reviews was lifted, rave reviews from those who managed to attend the press screenings of the film appeared on the Internet. Subsequently, critics only confirmed these words, and moviegoers gave Kugler's tape the highest A + score. Among all the projects in the Marvel universe, only the "Avengers" were previously honored. On the one hand, Black Panther is an excellent superhero film with beautiful pictures, insane action, special effects and a breathtaking view of Wakanda, reminiscent of the city of the future. However, Ryan Kugler managed to fill the tape with a meaning so unusual for this genre. The director produced a kind of political statement and tribute to African culture, a fresh look at an already established genre with the participation of one of the best villains in cinema over the past decade. And if most of Marvel's projects are seen as elements of one big story, then Black Panther is a whole mini-universe.  "Peter Rabbit" last weekend could not compete with fans of BDSM, but this weekend Mr. and Mrs. Gray faded into the background, giving way to cute animals from the garden Beatrix Potter. Will Gluck's tape has mastered an additional $ 17.3 million, thus increasing the home box office to $ 48.2 million, which is quite good for a film that has received not too flattering reviews from critics. There are few good jokes in Peter Rabbit, and the title character himself is far from the title of Mr. Charm. The director is better at portraying human relationships: the characters of Donal Gleason and Rose Byrne really evoke sympathy.  "Fifty Shades of Freedom" was content with only third place. The erotic melodrama has lost more than half of its audience, collecting $ 16.9 million in its second weekend. With a $ 55 million budget, the final part of the trilogy boasts $ 76.1 million at home and $ 266.9 million worldwide. As you can see, despite the barrage of criticism of the franchise, it continues to earn money for those who are interested in the games of Christian and Anastacia. All the same feels at ease in the North American box office "Jumanji", which is not afraid of any superhero blockbusters, or love games, or cartoon characters. For nine long weeks, the adventure comedy has not left the top 5, and last weekend "Welcome to the Jungle" added $ 7.9 million to its piggy bank, with the sum of $ 377.6 million taking the second place in the list of Sony's highest grossing films.  The drama "Train to Paris" closes the top five. The second week brought the Clint Eastwood film $ 7.7 million, and so far the $ 25.4 million she earned seems to be a rather modest result, if you remember "Sniper" or "Miracle on the Hudson". And if the film is not popular in America, then what can we say about other countries, where viewers forked out only $ 10.7 million.
