US Boxing Office Rampages
North American cinemas turned out their lights back in March, and only now are they slowly starting to resume work. While the opening of institutions is possible only in 44 states, and the occupancy of the halls should not exceed 50%, but even in such cramped conditions, the thriller "Furious" has demonstrated a result that is estimated in millions of dollars. The rest of the top-5 didn’t set out to do this, and yet the picture of the US box office looks encouraging. Viewers are at least not afraid to return to cinemas, despite the pandemic. Analysts believe that North American rental has taken an important step towards recovery, but it will take weeks and months to reach the previous level.The top 5 box office in the USA for August 21-23 is as follows: 1. "Furious"  Week at the box office: 2 Added: $ 4.1 million Total box office: $ 5.1 million Sank / Rise: +1 (+ 575.5%) If the premiere of "Furious" took place in the pre-quarantine period, then such a debut would be called weak. However, the thriller with Russell Crowe in the title role became the first film to be released in wide distribution: the number of venues at which it was shown exceeded 1,800. rivals of the film for the next couple of weeks appear only "New Mutants". 2. "SpongeBob on the Run"  Week at the box office: 2 Added: $ 550 thousand. Total box office: $ 1.4 million Sag / Rise: -1 (-36.5%) SpongeBob was less fortunate than "Furious": the animated film is shown only in cinemas in Canada, and there she managed to collect $ 1.4 million for the entire rental period. Residents of the United States, in turn, will be able to see the cartoon only next year, when it is released on video. 3. "Words on the bathroom walls"  Week at the box office: 1 Added: $ 462 thousand. Total fees: $ 462 thousand. Sank / Rise: - (-) The teen drama was one of the new releases of the past weekend, but it came out in a limited number of theaters, which explains such a modest result. At the same time, Thor Freudenthal's film earned positive reviews from critics and an A rating from the first viewers, so the creators of the picture hope for word of mouth. 4. "Goonies". Re-release  Week at the box office: 7 Added: $ 260 thousand. Total fees: $ 825 thousand. Sank / Rise: - (-) While the standard cinemas were closed and the premieres were lying on the shelves, in the United States, movie platforms for cars were in full swing.

"City of Thugs"  Week at the box office: 1 Added: $ 240 thousand Total fees: $ 240 thousand. Sank / Rise: - (-) Like Words on the Bathroom Walls, Thug City has caught the eye of critics who claim that RZA's director has reached a new level.
