Gerard Butler rescues the USAn box office
With the resumption of the work of cinemas, distributors have also become more active, which every week delight viewers with an increasing number of premieres. Unsurprisingly, the top 5 in the financial rankings is made up mostly of rental newcomers. Thanks to them, the USA box office, although gradually, step by step, returns to pre-quarantine indicators. Last weekend, the total revenue of domestic cinemas increased again (this time by 46% compared to the previous week) and amounted to 84.9 million rubles. It is noteworthy that more than a third of this amount was accounted for by the box office leader - the disaster film Greenland.Top 5 box offices in USA at the end of the weekend (August 20-23) are as follows: 1. "Greenland"  Week at the box office: 1 Added: 30.1 million rubles. Total fees: RUB 30.1 million. Sank / Rise: - (-) Gerard Butler saved many people, even the President of the United States. In Greenland, his main concern was the safety of his own family in the face of an imminent catastrophe of a universal scale, and at least he coped with the financial side of the issue. Greenland collected even more at the start than Angel Fall (27.3 million rubles) last year. True, distributors were counting on 35-40 million rubles, but the current result can be called successful. 2. "Train to Busan 2: Peninsula"  Week at the box office: 1 Added: 9.3 million rubles. Total fees: RUB 9.5 million. Sank / Rise: - (-) The South Korean horror started much weaker than Greenland, but on par with the winners of the previous weeks - Furious (9.2 million rubles) and Pretty Woman in Shot (9.8 million rubles). At the same time, "Peninsula", even in the first weekend, collected more than the first "Train to Busan" (8.8 million rubles) during its entire rental period. 3. "Agent Eva"  Week at the box office: 1 Added: 8.1 million rubles. Total fees: 8.1 million rubles. Sank / Rise: - (-) "Agent Eva" has begun a tour of USA cinemas at the level of forecasts. If we compare Tate Taylor's thriller with brothers in the genre, then the picture with Jessica Chastain in the title role is slightly inferior to "Crimson Mint" (8.7 million rubles). The two-time Oscar nominee is not very popular with USA moviegoers, and as a result, the average attendance of Agent Eva was only six people per show. 4. "Fairies: The Secret of the Land of Dragons"  Week at the box office: 1 Added: 4.7 million rubles. Total fees: 4.7 million rubles. Sank / Rise: - (-) Over the past weekend, distributors have tried to cover all categories of moviegoers, and even families with children had something to see. Of the two cartoons released in USA over the weekend, only "Fairies" made it to the top five, but they, as we can see, cannot boast of an outstanding result. 5. "Pretty woman in shock"  Week at the box office: 2 Added: 4.1 million rubles. Total fees: 18.5 million rubles. Sank / Rise: -4 (-58.6%) The leader of the previous weekend retreated to the tail of the top-5, having lost more than half of the audience. Analysts attribute such a rapid fall to a difficult competitive environment. Considering that the situation in the domestic box office will only heat up, "Beauty in shock" shines no more than 25 million rubles.
