USA Box Office won the super race
While "Joker" overcomes the billion-dollar milestone, films are starting to be released, which with a high degree of probability will be the main participants in the Oscar race. Also, the results of the North American box office over the past weekend once again confirmed that brand recognition is not always synonymous with success with viewers, but an original idea, implemented with a soul, can easily steal the hearts of moviegoers.The top five US box offices for November 15-17 are as follows: 1. "Ford vs. Ferrari"  Week at the box office: 1 Added: $ 31 million Total box office: $ 31 million Sank / Rise: - (-) The James Mangold film was one of the last projects to receive approval from 20th Century Fox prior to its merger with the Walt Disney empire. The bosses of the major took a serious risk by setting aside an almost $ 100 million budget for an adult-oriented drama that was not associated with any popular franchise. However, the risk proved to be justified: the tape far exceeded even the most optimistic forecasts and should earn about $ 120 million or even more, and this is only in the USA. 2. Midway  Week at the box office: 2 Added: $ 8.8 million Total box office: $ 35.1 million Sank / Rise: -1 (-51%) The leadership of "Ford v Ferrari" at the box office is undeniable, but for the next three places a serious struggle broke out, and the winner was the military epic of Roland Emmerich. Midway has already surpassed the results of In the Heart of the Sea ($ 25 million) and Geostorm ($ 33.7 million), but these films could boast excellent results outside the United States, but Emmerich's picture is doing worse on the world market - there she raised only $ 18.6 million. 3. "Charlie's Angels"  Week at the box office: 1 Added: $ 8.6 million Total box office: $ 8.6 million Sank / Rise: - (-) Representatives of the film industry are in some confusion: after the failure of the new "Terminator" and "Doctor of Sleep", "Charlie's Angels" fell into the same abyss. The remake, directed by Elizabeth Banks, loses on the first results even to the action "Charlie's Angels 2: Only Forward", which 16 years ago mastered $ 37.6 million on its debut weekend (excluding inflation). Insiders claim that the film initially had problems with the script, and he could not attract stars like Margot Robbie, but Kristen Stewart alone cannot pull off a project of this scale. 4. "Playing with Fire"  Week at the box office: 2 Added: $ 8.55 million Total box office: $ 25.5 million Sag / Rise: -1 (-33%) For ten days, Andy Fickman's comedy has collected a little more than its budget in the world box office, and now it is holding up pretty well - in a week "Games with Fire" lost only a third of its audience. "Monster Trucks" ($ 33.4 million) will be bypassed by next weekend, but he is unlikely to be able to compete with the comedy "Alexander and a terrible, terrible, worthless, very bad day" ($ 67 million). 5. "Christmas for two"  Week at the box office: 2 Added: $ 6.7 million Total box office: $ 22.6 million Sank / Rise: -1 (-41%) "Christmas for Two" was lost in all the variety of premieres, and by the next weekend the film will surely drop out of the top five. As expected, the rom-com follows the path of the dramas “Mountains Between Us” ($ 30.3 million) and “Phantom Beauty” ($ 31 million). The Topic of Article: USA Box Office won the super race. |
