US Box Office Goes Forward
Last weekend, two high-profile releases were expected in the North American box office - a new cartoon from Pixar and a drama that brought Ben Affleck back to the attention of moviegoers. Both projects earned positive reviews in the press, and analysts could only guess whether the panic caused by the coronavirus or the desire to evaluate new products would prevail.The top five US box offices for March 6-8 are as follows: 1. "Forward"  Week at the box office: 1 Added: $ 40 million Total box office: $ 40 million Sank / Rise: - (-) Despite the fact that movie fans are always looking forward to animation projects from Pixar studio, the film "Vperyod" has not realized its potential. Most of the predictions promised her a $ 50 million start, but the cartoon started at the bottom of expectations. Pixar usually holds back its releases until the summer or fall holidays, and therefore comparing "Forward" with "Secret Coco" ($ 50.8 million) or "The Good Dinosaurs" ($ 39.2 million) is not entirely correct. But the triquel "How to Train Your Dragon" released a year ago is suitable for these purposes, and it started much better - with the amount of $ 55 million. 2. "The Invisible Man"  Week at the box office: 2 Added: $ 15.2 million Total box office: $ 52.7 million Sank / Rise: -1 (-46.3%) Horror Lee Whannell lost almost half of its audience in a week, but these are quite expected numbers, since both Astral 4: The Last Key and Happy Day of Death sank 60%, and Paranormal 4 by the second weekend and completely lost 70 % of viewers. Now the Invisible Man has nearly $ 100 million at the worldwide box office - an excellent result for a horror movie with a $ 7 million budget. 3. "Out of the game"  Week at the box office: 1 Added: $ 8.5 million Total box office: $ 8.5 million Sank / Rise: - (-) The sports drama starring Ben Affleck kicked off as expected. Gavin O'Connor's film received a B + rating from the first moviegoers and in its debut week almost repeated the achievements of "Hands in a Million" ($ 10.5 million) and "Draft Day" ($ 9.8 million). 4. "Sonic in the Movie"  Week at the box office: 4 Added: $ 8 million Total box office: $ 140.8 million Sag / Rise: -2 (-51%) Sonic has a competitor in the person of Pixar's "Forward", and the box office of the film about the blue hedgehog has dropped by half. It almost caught up with Detective Pikachu ($ 144.1 million) at home, but on the world stage, the popular Pokemon collected much more. 5. "Call of the Ancestors"  Week at the box office: 3 Added: $ 7 million Total box office: $ 57.5 million Sank / Rise: -2 (-47.6%) “Call of the Wild” also lost half of its audience, and in three weeks its box office box office approached the $ 100 million mark. If it were some kind of smaller-scale project, the producers would have been rubbing their hands in anticipation of profit, but $ 135 million was spent on the shooting of Call of the Wild, which means that the picture retains every chance of getting into the list of box office failures.
