US Boxing Office still worships Deadpool

Image Last weekend ( February 19-21 ) Deadpool did not give up his leadership positions in the North American box office to anyone - he could not be prevented by the sweetest Po , neither a witch nor a Roman centurion.

After the weekend, " Deadpool " ended up with another $ 55 million , and in total the chatty mercenary earned $ 235.4 million in home theaters. In the second week of distribution, the number of blockbuster viewers decreased by 58.5%. However, this situation was quite predictable - projects starting at $ 100 million or more lose an average of 54% of their audience in the second week.

On the global film market, Deadpool is showing equally impressive results - $ 85 million over the weekend and $ 256.5 million in two weeks at the box office. Total blockbuster, filmed for $ 58 million , boasts an amount of $ 491.9 million .

For viewers who have seen the film, Deadpool has become a breath of fresh air in the world of superhero cinema - a sea of blood, humor below the belt and a central character who can hardly be called a role model. Next week, Tim Miller's tape will have to compete with "Gods of Egypt" and "Three Nines", but, as journalists believe, none of the debutants will be able to put Ryan Reynolds on his shoulder blades in a red suit.

The second place in the top 5 remained for “ Kung Fu Panda 3 ”, which earned $ 12.5 million . Total in the piggy bank Po and his friends are now $ 117.1 million . In most cases, triquels are in many ways inferior to their predecessors, but this did not happen with Kung Fu Panda . According to the observations of critics and viewers, the third part pleases the eye of even sophisticated moviegoers, since the visual component in the film Jennifer Yu and Alessandro Carloni exceeds all expectations. Perhaps not everything is so smooth with the script of the cartoon, but the main thing is that the film continues to delight children and their parents.

The third line of the rating went to the newcomer of the North American box office - the drama "The Resurrection of Christ ", which ended its first weekend with a result of $ 11.8 million . Religious films are always controversial to critics. The same thing happened with the work of Kevin Reynolds . The Resurrection of Christ tells the story of a Roman centurion, Pontius Pilate instructs to find the body of Jesus of Nazareth, in order to dispel rumors of his resurrection and prevent a riot in Jerusalem.

Reviewers praised the performance of Joseph Fiennes, who embodied the image of an unbelieving centurion, and the fact that "The Resurrection of Christ" looks in the same breath, unlike most paintings with biblical stories at the base. The viewer is unlikely to get bored while watching, since Reynolds is filmed like a detective story, which some critics didn't like.

Another debutant of the week, the horror " The Witch ", also performed well at the box office, grossing $ 8.7 million from viewers who prefer not superheroes or religious figures, but mystical creatures ... The debut work of Robert Eggers was first presented to the film public back in January last year at the Sundance Festival and brought the filmmaker the Best Director award.

As for the opinions of critics, this kind of consensus about horror is rare. According to them, Eggers 's debut turned out to be impressive with a characteristic mood and non-trivial plot moves that made the audience at the premiere flinch, and more than once.

The comedy " Actively Searching " lost a little to "The Witch" , which in its second rental week received another $ 8.2 million from grateful moviegoers. In total, the film Christian Ditter has collected at the moment only $ 31.8 million , which is less than even its production budget ( $ 38 million ). Despite the fact that Ditter used many cliches of romcoms, some of them acquired a completely different color in the picture. However, not all viewers liked the thought about whether it is good or bad to be free.
