Godzilla takes over the US box office
Last weekend turned out to be successful for the North American box office. Firstly, all three newcomers made it to the top five at the end of the weekend. Secondly, in the month since the start of the blockbuster season, distributors earned $ 1.14 billion, which is 9% more than in the same period in 2018.The top 5 North American box office for May 31 - June 2 is as follows: 1. "Godzilla 2: King of the Monsters"  Week at the box office: 1 Added: $ 49 million Total box office: $ 49 million Sank / Rise: - (-) Despite the fact that the blockbuster has climbed to the top of the rankings, its financial performance leaves much to be desired. For example, Warner Bros. counted on $ 50-55 million, and the first "Godzilla" collected almost twice as much at the start - $ 93.2 million. The King of the Monsters did not reach the results of Skull Island, which started with $ 61 million. Analysts believe that Michael Dougherty's film will get to $ 110-130 million, which is certainly not enough to recoup the $ 170 million budget. However, overseas viewers should help the tape, and so far they have taken $ 130 million to its piggy bank. 2. "Aladdin"  Week at the box office: 2 Added: $ 42.3 million Total box office: $ 185 million Sank / Rise: -1 (-53.7%) Aladdin lost one position, but lost not so much to his closest rival. The Baghdad thief is doing well at home, and among all Disney game remakes he is the seventh in the US and worldwide, where Aladdin has $ 445.9 million. 3. "Rocketman"  Week at the box office: 1 Added: $ 25 million Total box office: $ 25 million Sank / Rise: - (-) Elton John's biopic started much better than Paramount had anticipated. If we evaluate the film by Dexter Fletcher by this indicator, then among the brothers in the genre, he took fourth place, only slightly behind the film "2pac: Legend". However, one should not be equal to the latter - it earned only $ 44.3 million in home theaters, and Rocketman has much greater potential, especially since the audience, like critics, highly appreciated the drama. 4. "Ma"  Week at the box office: 1 Added: $ 18.3 million Total box office: $ 18.3 million Sank / Rise: - (-) Not only "Rocketman" was able to surpass his expectations, but also the thriller "Ma", which already in the first weekend paid off its modest $ 5 million budget. Blumhouse can now add another successful project to its track record. The cinemas Sinister, Truth or Dare, and Ouiji conquered about the same. Devil's board ", so in a good scenario" Ma "can count on a total of $ 50 million. 5. "John Wick 3"  Week at the box office: 3 Added: $ 11.1 million Total box office: $ 125.8 million Sank / Rise: -3 (-54.9%) With the appearance in cinemas of new films "John Wick 3" is gradually losing its original agility, although the continuation is already provided for it. The results of the previous two parts of the franchise are left behind, and now the action can compete with other representatives of the genre, for example, swing at the result of "Hostage" ($ 145 million).
