US Boxing Office: Terminator Shoots Blanks
The summer season of blockbusters has long come to an end, but the studios will periodically delight moviegoers with large-scale epics until the New Year. November 2019 was supposed to pass under the sign of "Terminator", and the sixth part of the film series really outstripped the competitors, but in the case of the sequel, first place is not synonymous with success.The top five US box offices for November 1-3 are as follows: 1. "Terminator: Dark Fate"  Week at the box office: 1 Added: $ 29 million Total box office: $ 29 million Sank / Rise: - (-) After the disappointment of Genesis, Paramount and Skydance abandoned the idea of a new trilogy and decided to reboot the franchise, filming a direct sequel to Doomsday. There is an old guard in the person of Arnold Schwarzenegger, Linda Hamilton and James Cameron as a producer, but there is no sense in it. "Dark Fates" started worse than expected and at the same level as Genesis ($ 27 million), foreign viewers do not want to help the franchise, although they brought almost $ 95 million to its piggy bank, and analysts are already calculating the losses that a blockbuster with a price tag of $ 185 will turn out to be mln. It looks like the Terminator won't return to the big screens. 2. "Joker"  Week at the box office: 5 Added: $ 13.9 million Total box office: $ 299.6 million Sank / Rise: - (-27.7%) Local battles between the "Joker" and the second "Maleficent" continue. This time the villain from DC comics was the winner. Over the weekend, he beat Man of Steel ($ 291 million) at home and surpassed the $ 900 million mark on the global stage. Analysts believe that Joker is quite capable of becoming another billionaire in 2019. 3. "Maleficent: Lady of Darkness"  Week at the box office: 3 Added: $ 12.2 million Total box office: $ 84.3 million Sank / Rise: -2 (-37.1%) "The Lady of Darkness" is not too willing to part with the audience, but it is already clear that the sequel will become one of the main disappointments of the year for the Disney studio along with "Dumbo". After the success of "Aladdin" and "The Lion King", the results of the second "Maleficent" seem depressing, especially since the first part had $ 163 million by the end of the third week. 4. "Harriet"  Week at the box office: 1 Added: $ 12 million Total box office: $ 12 million Sank / Rise: - (-) Casey Lemmons' tape frankly surprised the distributors. Harriet has succeeded in breaking the curse of serious drama that usually begins in a more modest North American box office. Moreover, according to the first indicators, the biopic surpassed the more promoted "Black Klanman" ($ 10.8 million). 5. "The Addams Family"  Week at the box office: 4 Added: $ 8.5 million Total box office: $ 85.3 million Sank / Rise: -2 (-29.2%) Halloween has clearly benefited the Addams Family, which once again demonstrates the wonders of stability. The loss of the cartoon for the week was only 29%, and its collection at home are confidently approaching the $ 100 million mark and, in a good scenario, could even reach $ 120 million.
