US Boxing Office: Zootopia Residents Don't Surrender to Divergers
Over the past weekend ( March 18-20 ), the leadership position of “ Zootopia ” in the US box office could not be shaken even by the triquel “Divergent” released on the screens. Disney studio animation tape continues to confidently replenish its impressive piggy bank.For the third weekend at the box office, the residents of Zootopia grew rich by another $ 38 million , and in general, they currently have $ 201.8 million on their account. In terms of gross in home theaters, Jared Bush , Byron Howard and Rich Moore are now in third place among all projects of Walt Disney Animation Studios . On the world stage, the achievements of Zootopia are estimated at $ 591.7 million (including fees in the USA). Thus, the cartoon is only slightly inferior to the tape "Rapunzel: A Tangled Story", which earned $ 591.8 million at one time. However, given that this week the audience of Zootopia fell by only 26%, boldly we can assume that the picture will surely surpass the result of the project Rapunzel .  Perhaps the biggest loser of the past weekend is the blockbuster " Divergent, Chapter 3: Behind the Wall ", which ended its debut week on the second line of the financial rating with the amount of $ 29.1 million . Immediately striking is the fact that the third part of the popular youth franchise, filmed by Robert Schwentke , earned almost half the amount of its predecessor (Insurgent raised $ 52.3 million). Not surprisingly, the triquel received disappointing critical reviews and a B rating on the CinemaScore site.  Everyone says that dividing the last book of Veronica Roth from the cycle "Divergent" into two films was not the best decision of the major. Reviewers note that "Behind the Wall" is just a link between "Insurgent" and the final part of the film series, which does not carry any meaning. The blockbuster, according to critics, lacked an addictive action game that could distract even a little from the boring script. The third place in the top 5 was taken by the religious drama " Miracles from Heaven ", which, unlike "Divergent 3" , even surpassed the hopes of its creators. Sony and Affirm Films expected a much lower return from Patricia Riggen , but ultimately received $ 15 million for their debut weekend. Considering that the film's budget was only $ 13 million , then such a fundraising for the first week can be considered an excellent result.  Miracles from Heaven is based on the memoirs of a Texas housewife, Christy Beam, whose daughter was diagnosed with a rare digestive disorder. The author herself, being a woman of faith, tried to understand why God turned away from her and brought down so many problems on her family. Patricia Riggen's film is a drama not only about faith, but also about the fact that miracles do happen.  Dramatic horror “ Cloverfield” has dropped to the fourth position of the top 5 , 10 ”, which grossed $ 12.5 million in its second week. Now the film Daniel Trachtenberg has $ 45.2 million in his piggy bank, but the spiritual sequel "Monstro", as producer JJ Abrams calls the picture, was created in just $ 13 million . The horror film also received a lot of positive reviews from critics, who noted the tension that can be seen in every frame of Trachtenberg 's creation. Reviewers also praised John Goodman's acting, some even called his role worthy of an Oscar .And the blockbuster " Deadpool " closes the top five. Ryan Reynolds and the company have not left the top 5 North American box office for the sixth week in a row. The ended weekend brought the film Tim Miller an additional income of $ 8 million . Deadpool already boasts $ 340.9 million in home theaters and $ 730.6 million worldwide. True, this week the premiere of one of the most anticipated films of this year - the film "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" will take place, which will surely push "Deadpool" out of the top 5.
