US Boxing Office: DiCaprio Takes Over the Elements
The past weekend ( January 22-24 ) in the American box office can hardly be called successful, but the reason for this was not the films or their producers, but the elements. Due to the challenging environment due to the Jonas blizzard on the East Coast of the United States, many movie theaters have closed. This means that film distributors, as well as Hollywood studios, did not receive a certain amount of fees.Who managed to overcome the elements, so this is the western Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu " Survivor ", which ended the weekend with a result of $ 16 million . Now the total box office of one of the main contenders for the Oscar is $ 119.2 million . It is noteworthy that only in its third week in the wide distribution the film managed to climb to the top of the financial rating. By the way, in "The Survivor" , the main character played by Leonardo DiCaprio, like the inhabitants of the East Coast, has to fight a rebellious nature. The director and his team traveled to places where no human has ever gone, and sometimes even stopped filming due to production difficulties.  The Survivor , based on real events, slightly altered the story of Hugh Glass , who managed to return literally from the other world. Much has been said about how difficult it was for the director, cameramen and actors to work on the film. As a result, the film Inarritu came out so harsh and realistic that the viewer himself seemed to find himself in the endlessly stretching tundra next to the Glass , surviving in spite of fate. Whether the film will bring DiCaprio the first Oscar for acting will be known only in February.  In the second position of the rating was the blockbuster "Star Wars: The Force Awakens ", for the sixth week in a row forcing viewers to shell out for going to cinemas. Despite such a long time on the screens, the film JJ Abrams put another $ 14.3 million in the piggy bank. Jedi from a galaxy far, far away now boast $ 879.3 million in home theater earnings. On the world stage, The Force Awakens with the amount of $ 1.94 billion is getting closer and closer to the result of "Titanic", but so far it remains on the third step of the rating of the highest grossing films in history cinematography.  The leader of last week, the comedy " Mission to Miami ", has dropped to the third line. Over the past weekend, Tim Storey's movie lost 63% of viewership and was able to collect only $ 13 million . Now the hilarious adventure of cops in the sunny city boasts a sum of $ 59.1 million , which is quite a good result for a tape shot for $ 40 million . As for critics, they do not share the views of American audiences. When the first installment of the franchise, Ride Together, came out in 2014, the successful acting duo Ice Cube and Kevin Hart caused a splash, the pair looked so good on screen. In the second part, the story has not changed. According to reviewers, this is the main problem of the tape - it does not show the viewers anything new,  The top five box office leaders are closed by two newcomers. The fourth line was taken by another comedy - " The grandfather of easy virtue " with Zac Efron and Robert De Niro in the lead roles. The grandpa performed by the latter turned out to be a real gem of the film, which allowed the brainchild of Dan Mather to earn $ 11.5 million . Unlike the audience, the critics did not treat the tape so favorably and smashed the comedy to smithereens, despite the presence of such talent as De Niro . The main complaint of reviewers is the lack of funny scenes (vulgar jokes do not count). No matter how brilliant actor Robert was, he simply had nothing to play in The Grandfather of Easy Behavior , and Efron didn't save the day at all. br />  And the last in today's review was the thriller " Doll ", which launched in American cinemas with an amount of $ 11.3 million . The main role in the film was played by the star of "The Walking Dead" ( The Walking Dead ) Lauren Cohen, who, on duty, has to follow not a real child, but a doll. However, the protagonist's ward turns out to be not as simple as it seems at first glance ... Critics in their opinions regarding the film William Brent Bell were divided into two camps. Some people liked the story of a doll showing an unhealthy interest in its own nanny, while others thought the horror was too stupid and feigned. However, according to both sides, Bell still managed to heat up the atmosphere in the picture, and he did it quite unobtrusively.
