Mowgli tamed the US box office

Image As expected, a new leader appeared in the North American box office last weekend - the film by the studio Disney " The Jungle Book ", ahead of the nearest pursuer by $ 80 million.

Jon Favreau finished its first weekend at the box office with a result of $ 103.6 million . Among the newcomers in April, in the entire history of the box office, The Jungle Book lost only the seventh Fast and the Furious ($ 146.2 million) in its debut week in terms of gross, overtaking the blockbuster Captain America: The Other War. ($ 95 million).

Studio Disney can not but rejoice that on the site CinemaScore the new film adaptation of Rudyard Kipling's immortal stories has received a high rating of A , and critics compose the film laudatory odes. According to them, The Jungle Book is a rare example of how beautiful images and deep content can be combined in one project.

Everything from the drawing of the main characters to the musical accompaniment works in the Favreau tape with a common goal - to show the drama of what is happening on the screen. And if the 1967 cartoon can be called primarily intended for children, then the new full-length version also charmed the adult audience.

The second place in the financial rating went to another debutant of the week - the comedy " Hairdresser 3 ", which grossed $ 20.2 million . Much has changed in Chicago since the release of the second part of the franchise, and Malcolm D. Lee 's film raises current issues from the life of the city with humor and a bit of drama.

Like The Jungle Book , the third Barber Shop has received rave reviews from the professional community. According to reviewers, the director and scriptwriters managed to touch upon the most painful topics for modern Americans, while not forgetting that laughter prolongs life. The main characters discuss Barack Obama and Kim Kardashian, and popular singer Nicki Minaj has joined the cast. Triquel eventually opened in theaters with less than the second movie ($ 24.2 million), but A- on CinemaScore will surely help Lee attract a new audience.

The leader of the last week - the comedy " Big Boss " with Melissa McCarthy, has dropped to the third line. The film Ben Falcone sank 57% and earned only $ 10.2 million , and now its gross in home theaters is estimated at $ 40.4 million . Such a sharp drop in the audience is due, in large part, to the negative reviews of those who have already watched Big Boss . The tape Falcone offers nothing to the viewer, except for the sparkling play of McCarthy and her partner Kristen Bell, as well as a fair amount of jokes below the belt. The main question from the critics was a script written by Melissa in collaboration with the director, which made the characters flat, and their actions - for the most part, absurd.

The fourth place in the top 5 is taken by the blockbuster " Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice " with the result of $ 9 million . Overall, Zach Snyder's film has grossed $ 311.3 million in the United States, and its worldwide gross is currently $ 827.3 million . The confrontation between the two superheroes from the DC comics divided the moviegoers into two camps: one liked the tape, while others considered it too chaotic. Representatives of the second group, by the way, have already written a petition to remove Snyder from work on Justice League.

Closes the five of the best animation tape " Zootopia ", which added another $ 8.2 million to its piggy bank. The cartoon about talking animals boasts $ 307.5 million earned in seven weeks, and on the world stage, the rabbit Judy and the foxes Nick managed to collect $ 882.3 million . The film has not yet debuted in Japan, and journalists predict that in the end Zootopia will bypass even Batman v Superman .
