Box office: USAns still dream of Everest
According to distributors, the first weekend in October ( 1.10-4.10 ) ended with a good overall gross for the twenty most profitable films in USA. Their total revenues reached 491 million rubles. However, this amount is less than last weekend, and is also somewhat inferior to the achievements of films for the same period a year ago. Then the domestic box office was headed by David Fincher's detective thriller "Gone Girl", and the total profit was estimated at 520 million rubles. The current position of distributors continues to be saved by the drama Balthasar Cormakur “ Everest ” - the tape for the second week in a row easily holds the leadership position. Another weekend brought the creators of this impressive, albeit emotionally restrained film an additional 151 million rubles ( $ 2.3 million ). Well, according to the results of 18 days (taking into account the preview in IMAX ), during which the picture was on USA screens, its income is 585 million rubles. ( $ 8.8 million ).  Interestingly, in contrast to the favorable attitude towards " Everest " by reviewers and viewers, the real brave conquerors of the highest point of the globe found some inconsistencies in the film with reality. For example, Viktor Lutov , an international master of sports in mountaineering, admitted that he expected more from the brainchild of Kormakura . He was especially embarrassed by how the relationships of the people climbing in the group were conveyed. But, despite the fact that, according to the expert, everything looked somewhat softened, and the true spirit of mountaineering eluded the director, Victor was nevertheless delighted with the very fact that the film about the mountains appeared in cinemas.  The second and third lines of the top were taken by rental newcomers. The sports drama Alexey Andrianov “ Warrior ” showed not too significant lag behind the favorite. In addition, it showed the best start this week - 104 million rubles. ( $ 1.6 million ) went to the wallets of the authors of this controversial project. It can be considered doubtful because the similarity with the painting of the same name by Gavin O'Connor becomes obvious even for those viewers who just read two synopsis. The director of the USA " Warrior " assures that his film is based on the original script by David Frigerio. However, this cover is not very effective on critics. Most of the latter did not give a high rating to the remake.Meanwhile, analysts explain the appearance of the domestic " Warrior " with a plot, characters and conflicts similar to the American one is very commonplace. It turns out that the 2011 film with Tom Hardy and Joel Edgerton, despite the enthusiasm of the reviewers and Nick Nolte's nomination for " Oscar ", was simply not shown in USA. Hence such an impressive collection of " Warrior " with Fedor and Sergei Bondarchuk, Svetlana Khodchenkova and Vladimir Yaglych in the lead roles. The third line in the top five went to the crime thriller Brian Helgeland Legend , in which the aforementioned Hardy plays the twin brothers who ruled the London underworld 60 -x. There are rarely situations when the opinions of journalists and moviegoers agree, but this is the very case. The professional community reacted to the " Legend " with restraint, mainly focusing on the brilliant play of Tom and his total transformation in the transition from the image of Reggie to the type of Ronnie Kray .  The dampness of the script, as well as the cardboardness of the secondary characters, who served as the background for the masterly performance of the Briton who conquered Hollywood, did not remain unnoticed. As for the public, with all her love for the charismatic and brutal Tom Hardy , she was generous only by 76 million rubles ( $ 1.1 million ).  Comedy Nancy Myers has gone down one notch in the financial standings " Trainee ". The second rental week, through the efforts of the incomparable Robert De Niro and the charming Anne Hathaway, added 73 million rubles ( $ 1.1 million ) to the creators of this film. Although we probably won't see " Trainee " in the top 5 again, he ended the weekend with a kind of record. The feed showed the smallest drop in the box office of all twenty projects - only 18% . Thus, after 11 days of showing, her assets are 197 million rubles. ( $ 3 million ).Finally, our review of the domestic box office closes with the teenage fantasy Wes Ball " The Maze Runner: Trial by Fire ". The second part of this popular franchise is firmly in the top five and shows a stable, albeit decreasing, inflow of funds. Over the past seven days, the sequel has managed to get 40 million rubles. ( $ 0.6 million ). All in all, in the " Tests by fire " category - 528 million rubles. ( $ 8 million ), slightly less than that of the same " Everest ".
