The US Box Office looked into the War Room
A curious reshuffle took place in the US box office this week - the drama " Warroom ", having lost the first line last weekend, has become the leader this weekend. This is extremely rare in the USA box office, but in the western one the same happened with the cartoon "Puzzle". The animation masterpiece of the studio Pixar was able to get close to the honorary podium only in the third week of its release.As for the religious drama Alex Kendrick , over the past period it was able to earn another $ 9.3 million . The total fees of the Warroom are now $ 24.6 million . Interestingly, far from being entertaining and spectacular, the film about a family trying to solve their problems by resorting to the help of the devout old maid Miss Clara (Karen Abercrombie) was appreciated not only by critics, but also by viewers who did not lose interest to him. It is hoped that the success of the film, which has already paid off its $ 3 million budget, will be indicative for domestic distributors, and they will put the tape on USA screens following the example of the musical drama " Voice of the Streets ".  Speaking of it ... In its fourth week of screening in US theaters, the film raised another $ 8.8 million . Obviously, the story from the formation of world famous hip-hop musicians, as well as the battle of rapper groups from different coasts of the country, captured the attention of not only the target audience. F. Gary Gray's film has already pulled out $ 148 million from the purses of film and music fans. Initially very narrowly focused, the biopic about the pioneers of gangsta rap attracted both reviewers and viewers so much that it would not be surprising if their support would initiate the trend of filming just such plot-specific films.  The third place was taken by the newcomer of the American rental, and for our viewers - another little-known project. The adventure drama " A Walk in the Woods ", which tells the story of the writer Bill Bryson, who decides to travel in the footsteps of the Appalachian Indian tribe in order to feel the connection with his history and truly get to know his native land, received on the premiere weekend $ 8.4 million . The film by Ken Kwopis with an uncomplicated plot, similar to those that we have already seen in "Wild" with Reese Witherspoon and in "Trails" with Mia Wasikovskaya, left a pleasant impression on the audience.But critics did not appreciate the picture, complaining that such mastodons as Robert Redford and Nick Nolte were stuck in such a mediocre history. The professionals also noted that the authors of “ Walks ” failed to capture the subtle comic intonation of Bill Bryson , which underlies the script. Surprisingly, " Rogue Tribe " is still in the top five US films. Adventure thriller Christopher McQuarrie dropped from third to fourth, but who dares to blame him for this, when for the sixth week in a row an impossible mission continues to generate income for studio Paramount . Another weekend turned out to be $ 7.15 million for Tom Cruise and his team. This allowed the " Rogue Tribe " to get close to the $ 180 million mark. Agree, such a success of the fifth part of the franchise speaks not only of the talents of the film crew behind all the breathtaking stunts, subtle humor and an intriguing plot, but also of the flair of its producers. It was they who postponed the release of the tape to the beginning of August,  The fifth place in the top was taken by the rebooted crime thriller of the " Carrier " franchise with Ed Skrein in the title role. The film series, from which its producer and screenwriter Luc Besson, apparently intends to squeeze all the juice, is gradually losing the sympathy of fans. Her first weekend gross is only $ 7.13 million . The reviews from critics are not encouraging either: mocking pros noted that the plot of " Legacy " is more like a synopsis, which carefully recorded all the tricks and chases over the past 30 years. And such an assessment can still be considered condescending. By comparison, the journalist from The Hollywood Reporter generally limited himself to stating that Camille Delamarre's film runs on cheap fuel. An exhaustive description, isn't it?
