Having lost 43% of the starting fees, Dracula and his family managed to put 208 million rubles into their account. In total, in two weeks of rental, the third "Monsters" were able to earn 732 million rubles. Thus, the triquel not only significantly exceeds the total box office receipts of the original cartoon, which in 2012 mastered 492 million rubles in our box office, but is also noticeably ahead of the sequel. Three years ago in the piggy bank "Monsters on Vacation 2" for the same period of time was 686 million rubles. For all the time the cartoon managed to collect then 1.13 billion rubles, which allowed it to take the eighth place in the list of the highest grossing releases in 2015.  Dwayne Johnson with the disaster-fighter "Skyscraper" did not let anyone into the second line of the rating. The box office of the film dropped by 38% compared to the premiere weekend and amounted to 105 million rubles. In total, the story of saving a high-rise from terrorists and a terrible fire in addition has earned 355 million rubles to date.  The ant-man is small, but he is smart.

The first Ant-Man in 2015 earned RUB 672 million for the entire rental period.  The next two lines of the box office were won back by the novelties of the past week. The American crime-biographical drama "The Billionaires Club" is in fourth place by a small margin. The remake of the 1987 TV movie of the same name tells about a company of young people who decided to turn a scam, the favorable outcome of which promises to bring them huge money. However, this business runs the risk of being not only incredibly profitable, but also deadly. The film was directed by James Cox, and among the leading actors you can see Taron Egerton, Ansel Elgort, Emma Roberts and Kevin Spacey, who managed to star in the film before the whole scandalous series of events that practically put an end to his career. For the first four days, the tape was able to master 27 million rubles. Critics and viewers speak of the "Billionaires Club" very restrained, noting, perhaps, only the brilliant acting of the same Spacey and the well-recreated atmosphere of the glamorous Los Angeles of the 80s. For the rest, according to them, the film came out boring and predictable, the dialogues are meaningless and filled with pathos, the financial side of the matter, like the relations of the characters, is poorly disclosed. As a result, fans of adventurous films about cunning scams will inevitably remain disappointed with the tape.  The USA adventure comedy "Kilimanjara" with Irina Starshenbaum and Pavel Priluchny in the lead roles closes the top five. According to the plot of the picture, when the groom does not come to the wedding, his determined bride Marusa has no choice but to go in search of her beloved in his native Azerbaijan. After the first weekend at the box office, the comedy has 25 million rubles. The tape started at the level of such USA genre cousins as Odnoklassnitsy (27 million rubles) and the recent "President's Vacation" (24.7 million rubles). The audience appreciated the novelty low. Reviewers in their reviews of the film "Kilimanjara" scold and write about it as a silly story with an inarticulate plot, tortured and unfunny jokes and too overplaying actors.
