The US box office still roams the jungle
Last weekend ( April 22-24 ), the premiere of the fantasy " Snow White and the Hunter 2 " took place in North American cinemas, but, like in USA, the film by Cedric Nikola- Trojan could not oppose anything to Disney's " The Jungle Book ".The film Jon Favreau is in no hurry to part with the first place in the top 5 - last weekend, the film added $ 60.8 million to its home piggy bank. In total, Mowgli and the company of wild animals have $ 191.5 million at the box office for two weeks. On the world stage, The Jungle Book raised another $ 96 million and now, with a result of $ 528.5 million , is one of the five highest grossing films of this year. Given the achievements of the tape at the box office, the information that Disney is preparing a sequel seems to be quite true, although Favreau subsequently claimed that the second part is still under discussion. At the same time, The Jungle Book is another proof that House of Mouse knows a lot about transferring fairy tales to large screens.  The film Snow White and the Huntsman 2 , much to the disappointment of the studio Universal , earned three times less than its main competitor - only $ 20.1 million . Distributors are already predicting that fantasy is unlikely to be able to hit the bar of $ 60 million in the United States, despite the fact that the film's budget amounted to an impressive $ 115 million , and the first part in 2012 is already at the start managed to raise $ 56.2 million .  The painting by Nikola-Troyan did not find support not only from the audience, but also from critics. According to them, the only thing worth seeing is the gorgeous outfits of the heroines and the talented duo Emily Blunt and Charlize Theron. However, the visual range pleasant to the eye does not save the second part from the ill-conceived script. The journalists also noted the fact that Snow White and the Huntsman 2 is another disastrous film with Chris Hemsworth in the title role, not connected with the MCU Marvel .  The third line of the financial rating went to the comedy " Hairdresser 3 ", which ended the weekend with a result of $ 10.8 million . Total in the piggy bank of the tape Malcolm D. Lee has $ 36 million . Critics appreciated the triquel, noting that there was a place not only for jokes, but also for discussing serious topics. The workers of the hairdresser, led by Ice Cube, boldly speak out about politics, celebrities and sincerely worry about the fate of their native Chicago. However, probably not the whole audience liked the talk about the topic of the day.  " Zootopia " has managed to stay in the top 5 of the North American box office for the eighth week in a row. Over the past weekend, the animation tape lost only 19% of viewers and earned an additional $ 6.6 million . All in all, the cartoon grossed $ 316.4 million in home theaters, and its achievements in the world are estimated at $ 907.1 million . Literally $ 13 million is not enough for Zootopia to bypass the second Shrek, which brought its creators $ 919.8 million.  And the comedy " Big Boss " with Melissa McCarthy in the title role closes the five highest-grossing projects by the results of the weekend. The actress, who, it seems, can handle any comic role, this time appeared in the form of a business lady who decided to regain her former glory after being released from places not so distant. However, unlike the previous works of McCarthy , Big Boss has raised a lot of questions from critics and audiences. The former were disappointed with the script, while the latter took only $ 6.1 million to the box office last weekend. The total result of $ 49.5 million with a production budget of $ 29 million is another disappointing result of the week for Universal .
