US Boxing Office: Deadpool Did Not Give Up
Last weekend in February ( February 26-28 ), the leader of the North American box office remained unchanged - “ Deadpool ” still rules in US theaters.Over the past weekend, Ryan Reynolds and the company managed to add another $ 31.5 million to their feed. And now, with $ 285.6 million in his pocket, the blockbuster has entered the top three highest-grossing films with a rating of R , second only to "The Sniper" and "The Passion of Christ." Plus, Deadpool is Fox 's most successful comic book adaptation when looking at home screenings. On the global stage, the chatty mercenary also continues to conquer viewers - last week he received $ 40 million thanks to him, and now the blockbuster can boast a global result of $ 610 million . An excellent figure for a superhero movie made for $ 58 million .  Of course, Fox is aiming for a sequel to Deadpool and will try to get the cast and the entire voice-over team of the first film back to work, including the director of Tim Miller , for whom the blockbuster became debut in full meter. Deadpool could not resist " Gods of Egypt " - an epic fantasy directed by Alex Proyas . In its first weekend, the film, with a budget of $ 140 million , managed to earn only $ 14 million . This is probably not the kind of result the studio Lionsgate was hoping for, which is desperately looking for a replacement for the ended Hunger Games.  Most critics, as well as viewers, did not like the Gods of Egypt . First, everyone noted the cliches of the film, which in some places even border on stupidity. Secondly, the work of Proyas looks like another high-budget blockbuster without any semantic load. And the special effects themselves do not please the imagination - some reviewers thought they were back in the 90s.  Who continues to rest on their laurels is the third part of "Kung Fu Panda" . For the fifth week in a row, the animation tape has not left the top 5, for which it received $ 9 million as an award last weekend. If we talk about the total amount of fees, then the pretty Po got a pretty decent one - $ 128.5 million . True, this week the cartoon will surely have to make room for the top five, as the much-touted Zootopia is released.  The adventure drama " The Resurrection of Christ " has dropped to the fourth line. Another $ 7 million went to the film's box office, to which critics use the epithets of "unconventional" and "exciting". The director Kevin Reynolds managed to combine elements of a detective story and a classic biblical story in one film. Many projects have been filmed about the resurrection of Jesus , but Reynolds managed to present a familiar story under a new dressing. As a result, The Resurrection of Christ earned $ 22.7 million in two weeks. And closes the top 5 debutant of the week - the film “ Eddie“ The Eagle ” ”, slightly ahead of another newcomer in the box office, the crime thriller “Three Nines”. Dexter Fletcher's painting made viewers shell out $ 6.3 million to watch the story of a loser athlete who never gave up.  Eddie Edwards is a real person, and the actor Taron Egerton, according to critics, managed to perfectly get used to the role. He was matched by the strict coach performed by Hugh Jackman. The film itself is capable of inspiring any person to feats, and representatives of the studio Fox have already expressed their hopes that good word will go Eddie " Eagle " to the good.
