Hobbs and Shaw blew up the US box office
Recently, the North American box office has not been giving any surprises: the premieres are conquering financial heights in accordance with forecasts, and the old-timers of the box office are delighted with stability. At least in the current situation, distributors do not lose, but only find, and for the third week in a row their incomes have turned out to be higher than in the same period of 2018.The top five North American box office for August 2-4 is as follows: 1. "Fast and Furious: Hobbs and Shaw"  Week at the box office: 1 Added: $ 60.8 million Total box office: $ 60.8 million Sank / Rise: - (-) The Fast and the Furious spin-off lead is far from a sensation, and overall the film kicked off as Universal had expected. The first results of "Hobbs and Shaw" are far from the debuts of the seventh and eighth parts of the franchise ($ 147.2 million and $ 98.8 million, respectively). The next weekend will be indicative for the film by David Leitch, when five new products will be released in the United States at once, ready to take away a decent share of the audience from the blockbuster. Of course, the creators of the action are counting not only on Americans, but also on viewers from other countries, who have already replenished the tape's piggy bank for $ 120 million. 2. "The Lion King"  Week at the box office: 3 Added: $ 38.2 million Total box office: $ 430.9 million Sag / Rise: -1 (-50.1%) The picture, quite expectedly, was left without half of the viewers, which, however, is not a reason for frustration, because in a week it turned into a billionaire in the world box office. The only Disney remake that has collected more The Lion King in home theaters is Beauty and the Beast ($ 504 million), but surpassing it for Jon Favreau's film is a feasible task. 3. "Once Upon a Time in ... Hollywood"  Week at the box office: 2 Added: $ 20 million Total box office: $ 78.8 million Sank / Rise: -1 (-51.3%) Like its closest neighbor, Quentin Tarantino's new film has lost half its audience. For two weeks, the film has collected a decent amount and surpassed the "Hateful Eight", which earned $ 54.1 million at one time. As for "Inglourious Basterds" and "Django Unchained", the result of the second ($ 162.8 million) is still far away. but the $ 120.5 million raised by the "bastards" is a good benchmark for "Once Upon a Time in ... Hollywood". 4. "Spider-Man: Far From Home"  Week at the box office: 5 Added: $ 7.8 million Total box office: $ 360.3 million Sank / Rise: -1 (-37.7%) Spider-Man is doing well, having been in theaters for five weeks. Until the blockbuster's position in the MCU has not changed - it is still the tenth highest grossing film in the US among all the films in the franchise, and it lacks $ 30 million to its closest rival, the second Guardians of the Galaxy. 5. "Toy Story 4"  Week at the box office: 7 Added: $ 7.2 million Total box office: $ 410.1 million Sank / Rise: -1 (-31.6%) The animated film has spent even more time in theaters than Spider-Man, but cannot boast of a billion. But during these seven weeks, the cartoon has never left the top five, but next weekend, most likely, he will have to step aside and give way to ambitious newcomers.
