For the past two weeks, the box office in USA has been holding in the region of 630 million rubles. , but this weekend the box office again disappointed distributors.

Also, everyone appreciated the high-quality action scenes, playing around with numerous cliches, an unusual ending for this kind of films, and, of course, a gorgeous soundtrack that plays, perhaps, the main role in the film.
