The Lion King rules the US box office
While the Avengers proved their superiority over the inhabitants of Pandora, The Lion King celebrated a local win at the North American box office. The lead of the remake was predictable, but the surprise was that the Disney studio tape alone garnered more than all the films shown in US theaters on the same weekend in 2018 combined.The top five North American box office for July 19-21 is as follows: 1. "The Lion King"  Week at the box office: 1 Added: $ 185 million Total box office: $ 185 million Sank / Rise: - (-) The painting by Jon Favreau broke the record set by the second Deathly Hallows, and showed the most powerful July start in the history of the North American box office. If you look at the debut indicators of 2019, then only the final Avengers collected more "The Lion King", but among the Disney remakes the tape is the best at all - it bypassed Beauty and the Beast ($ 174.8 million) without any problems. The Lion King has already grossed $ 531 million worldwide and will soon leave behind Cinderella with her $ 543.5 million. 2. "Spider-Man: Far From Home"  Week at the box office: 3 Added: $ 21 million Total box office: $ 319.7 million Sank / Rise: -1 (-53.7%) The sequel, as expected, lost another half of its audience, and now it lacks only $ 15 million to bypass "Homecoming" in the US box office. If we talk about the worldwide box office, then the film by Jonathan Watts, which grossed $ 970.8 million, is unmatched among the films about Spider-Man. 3. Toy Story 4  Week at the box office: 5 Added: $ 14.6 million Total box office: $ 375.5 million Sag / Rise: -1 (-30.3%) Despite the fact that the cartoon has a serious competitor in the fight for a family audience, it survived and lost less than a third of its viewers. Also, the past weekend became a landmark for "Toy Story 4" because it overtook the Oscar-winning "Puzzle" and with the sum of $ 859.4 million, collected at the worldwide box office, ranks fifth in the list of Pixar films. 4. "Trap"  Week at the box office: 2 Added: $ 6 million Total box office: $ 23.8 million Sank / Rise: -1 (-50%) Horror by Alexander Azha, as expected, sank by half and has not yet shown anything remarkable financially. Thanks to the support of viewers from all over the world, the film went to zero, but after miracles from Blumhouse projects that earn ten times their own budget, the achievements of "Trap" seem frivolous. 5. "Yesterday"  Week at the box office: 4 Added: $ 5.1 million Total box office: $ 57.6 million Sank / Rise: - (-24%) When Danny Boyle's picture first came out in theaters in the United States, it seemed that it would fail.
