USAn Box Office: DiCaprio continues to survive and earn
The results of the USA box office for the first post-holiday week ( January 14-17 ) showed that with the end of the holidays, the inflow of funds to the country's cinemas was expected to decrease. The gap between the indicators of the previous week and the current one turned out to be quite noticeable. During the specified period, the top twenty highest-grossing films earned only 693.5 million rubles . However, this is not the worst result either. For example, last year the third rental weekend ended with the amount of 620.7 million rubles. , and then the favorite of the USAs was the action movie "Hostage 3" from the popular and well-publicized franchise.To be fair, the current leader also cannot complain about the lack of advertising. For the second week in a row, USA moviegoers have won the drama " Survivor ". To be sure, interest in Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu is fueled by the record number of Oscar nominations and by the fact that among the 12 categories that the film fell into, there is also Best Male role". For the fate of the main star of the picture, Leonardo DiCaprio, film lovers all over the world are experiencing, and therefore they are probably in a hurry to the cinema - in order to appreciate for themselves what the actor adored by millions has done so outstanding this time. So, over the past weekend, the public brought the creators of the tape an additional 222 million rubles .  In the general hype around the film, only a few critics and sober-minded viewers who do not consider themselves to be "dicaprists" are pouring a fly in the ointment - the script for " Survivor " turned out to be weak, besides, the merits of Leolie rather in the zone of physical overcoming of oneself, and not exclusive acting. However, this does not prevent the project from making excellent money - in total, the painting Inarritu has already collected 846 million rubles . and may well get close to a billion. Note that these fees are higher than the previous tape with the participation of DiCaprio - "The Wolf of Wall Street." The controversial and provocative biopic of Jordan Belfort once received in USA only 482 million rubles . Both of these films were leaked by pirates prior to their official premiere, so obviously  Everyone who, in the first week, managed to observe the suffering of the person who got used to the role Hugh Glass Leonardo , last weekend we went to the screenings of the eighth film by one of the most beloved American directors in our country - Quentin Tarantino . " The Disgusting Eight " finally got a pass for wide distribution, which noticeably affected its box office - another 141.5 million rubles . the producers, led by the Weinstein brothers, put in their pocket. As for the audience, she was generally satisfied with the detective drama with elements of Western and black comedy, although she expected a slightly different approach from the master of dialogues. Critics also praised the " Eight " at the same time complaining about the lack of a nomination for the author of the script.The total collection of the film, taking into account the previews, reached 268 million rubles. , which is still inferior to the achievements of the previous project Tarantino - the western "Django Unchained" (484 million rubles). Hopefully, the director's name will still do the trick, and the brilliant cast, the gracefully written dialogues, the shrill music of Ennio Morricone and the tasteful plans of cameraman Robert Richardson will lure some of the most dedicated fans of Quentin to repeat sessions. and " Eight " will take its toll. The third and fourth places in the top 5 of the USA box office were shared by the sequels. The third line was taken by the next part of the family franchise "Alvin and the Chipmunks". " A grandiose chipmunition " earned at the start 137 million rubles and has already surpassed the very first film in the series in gross ( 53 million rubles ). Nevertheless, the project of Walt Becker has yet to bypass its other two predecessors, who performed somewhat better at the box office.  Judging by the assessments of critics, the new comedy has no chance - they were disappointed that the creators completely wrote out and began to give out a very stupid spectacle. In addition, literally next week, the triquel "Kung Fu Panda" will be released on the screens, and the deprived young viewers will most likely rush to this particular cartoon. So the days of chipmunks in the top five most profitable premieres are numbered.  It is surprising that a very worthy project - " Creed: Rocky's legacy " turned out to be so low (only in fourth position). The first films of the franchise in our country are dearly loved by the audience, and the performer of the main role in them, Sylvester Stallone, generally became a global star thanks to the image of the famous boxer. Sports drama Ryan Coogler “ Creed ” has taken care of the traditions of the original, for which, apparently, the audience received recognition in the form of 39 million rubles . It is sad that this amount is so small, because besides a successful script, which allowed both Slay and newcomer Michael B. Jordan to feel comfortable on the set, the film has spectacular battle scenes, excellent acting and even some kind of soulfulness.By the way, Stallone , previously repeatedly nominated for the " Golden Raspberry ", has already received the " Golden Globe " thanks to his participation in the " Creed " "And a nomination for" Oscar ", and such success has not happened to him since the days of" Rocky ". However, the new film has suffered the same fate as " Survivor " with " Eight " - a pirate sink. Apparently, unlike the first two films, the audience preferred to watch this sports drama online, which affected its income.  Our review is closed by “ The best day ”, which came down from the third place, but held out in the top for a long time. The karaoke-comedy Zhora Kryzhovnikov earned on the fourth weekend 26 million rubles . Its total profit makes you think - 701.5 million rubles . made the picture one of the highest grossing in the coming year. And this is all despite the fact that the reviewers spoke about her mostly negatively, and she had enough competition in the award season. Most likely, we will no longer see this project in the top five, but from the creativity of the creator of "Bitter!" we won't get rid of it for a long time ...
