US Boxing Office: Deadpool Shows Top Class
Deadpool may sometimes deny that he is a character in a superhero movie, but his financial achievements at the box office definitely deserve the prefix "super". Many analysts believed that the second Wade Wilson film would be able to bypass the first, but this was not so easy to do.Last weekend (May 18-20) ended for Deadpool 2 at around $ 125 million, while the first part two years ago mastered $ 132.4 million. So the record for films with an R rating still belongs to Deadpool, and its sequel is now on the list as vice-leader, just slightly surpassing It with its $ 123.4 million. However, Fox can be pleased with the talkative mercenary films being its highest-grossing releases. Outside the United States, David Leitch's creation grossed even more than in its native cinemas - $ 176.3 million. Like the first "Deadpool", the second film has earned a high A score from moviegoers, and even picky critics sing the praises of Wade Wilson. In 2016, Tim Miller's blockbuster made a splash in the superhero genre, demonstrating by his example how to shoot comic strips so that the audience does not get tired of them. And "Deadpool 2" is not inferior to its predecessor, and in some ways even bypasses him. There are all the same jokes on the verge of a foul, ultraviolence, a charismatic protagonist, references to other blockbusters, and thanks to the efforts of director David Leitch, the action in the film has reached a higher level.  If "Deadpool 2" does not lose its initial agility, then by the end of the week in his piggy bank could collect about $ 300 million. It is expected that the coming weekend, timed to celebrate Memorial Day, will be one of the best in recent years. This is not surprising, since Han Solo will put a spoke in the wheels of the Fox mercenary, and "War of Infinity" should not be discounted. In addition, the next superhero blockbuster movie fans will see only in July, when Ant-Man and the Wasp comes out.  "War of Infinity", in turn, does not give up and continues to fill the wallet. Last weekend brought the Avengers team an additional $ 28.7 million, and now they have $ 595 million in their assets. Thanks to foreign viewers, the triquel boasts a gross of $ 1.81 billion, which makes it the fourth highest grossing release in the history of the world box office. ... Only The Force Awakens, Titanic and Avatar earned more than Infinity War.  On the third line of the top-5 was one of the newcomers of the rental, the comedy "Book Club". Even with the Marvel superhero team and the witty Deadpool in the competition, the picture did not fail. She finished her first weekend with $ 12.5 million, surpassing Leaving Nice ($ 11.9 million) and Walking in the Woods ($ 8.2 million) for the same target audience. Viewers gave Bill Halderman's comedy an A-, but critics were more skeptical in their statements. In their opinion, the only reason to watch a movie about girlfriends whose lives change dramatically after reading Fifty Shades of Gray is the cast. Diane Keaton, Jane Fonda, Candice Bergen and Mary Steenburgen proved everything to everyone long ago, and in the Book Club they play for fun, decorating a rather plain plot and a poorly joking script.  Last week, the comedy "Soul of the Company" was distinguished by the fact that it showed the worst debut result of any film with Melissa McCarthy, and this past weekend the situation did not improve. The audience of the film dipped by 57%, and those who nevertheless decided to appreciate the efforts of McCarthy and her husband Ben Falcone, left only $ 7.7 million at the box office.  Thriller "Penetration" also lost most of the viewers, but the first week was so successful for him that the following ones no longer matter much. Having added $ 6.5 million to its piggy bank, the tape now boasts an amount of $ 28.8 million, which is more than enough to recoup the $ 6 million budget.
