US Boxing Office Continues Unraveling Coco's Mystery
The situation in the US box office is reminiscent of the calm before the storm. Last week, four dozen films could be watched on the screens of American cinemas. To the disappointment of distributors, their total box office grossed only $ 81.4 million, which was the absolute worst in the current calendar year. The long-awaited thunder in the box office will break out in a week, when The Last Jedi ascend to the first line of the financial rating, but in the meantime, Pixar's The Secret of Coco continues to rule the ball in the American box office.Over the past weekend, the cartoon's box office dropped by a third, but this did not prevent him from retaining the lead in the box office. Viewers brought another $ 18.3 million to the "Coco Mysteries", thanks to which the total box office receipts of Pixar's animation masterpiece in the USA reached $ 135.5 million. The cartoon also demonstrates excellent endurance outside of America. To date, the film by Lee Ankrich and Adrian Molina has earned $ 389 million worldwide.  Coco's Secret was only the fourth film this year to remain at the top of the financial rankings for three weeks in a row. Previously, only "Split", "Fast and Furious 8" and "Killer's Bodyguard" could boast of such an achievement. Last week, the cartoon made several pleasant achievements at once. Firstly, it was named Best Animated Feature Film of 2017 by the National Board of Critics of the United States. Secondly, he received 13 nominations at once for one of the main awards in the world of animation - "Annie". Finally, thirdly, the cartoon reached the twentieth place in the list of the highest grossing films in North American box office this year.  The second line in the box office was retained by the superhero blockbuster Justice League, but this news did not please the management of Warner Bros. The movie comic has lost another 42 percent of viewership and was able to bring its creators only $ 9.6 million. For 24 days in the American box office, the tape earned only $ 212 million, which is the worst indicator among all five films in the DC cinema. For example, "Wonder Woman" over the same period of time emptied the pockets of Americans for $ 318 million. Fortunately for the WB bosses, good support for Batman and company is provided by viewers from other parts of the world. The film's worldwide box office exceeded $ 600 million, which allowed the studio to pay off its production budget in half.  The heads of Lionsgate studio, whose drama "Miracle" has been in the top three of the US box office for four weeks in a row, greeted last weekend in a much better mood. During this time, Stephen Chbosky's film hit its modest $ 20 million budget several times over. This time, viewers replenished the picture's piggy bank for $ 8.5 million, due to which she managed to exchange the $ 100 million mark at the North American box office. This year, only 27 films have achieved such an achievement so far.  The comedy "The Woe Creator" soared to the fourth line of the rating, on the account of which there was $ 6.4 million. The film by James Franco did not get on the podium, but clearly won the Audience Award. If each film from the three leaders of the box office was presented on at least three thousand screens, then the "Woe Creator" managed to impose a struggle on them, hitting only 840 American cinemas. The film about the creation of the infamous film "Room" has already received many rave reviews in the press, and was also included by the National Council of Critics in the top ten film projects of 2017.  The blockbuster Thor: Ragnarok had to drop one position in the top 5, the box office of which increased by $ 6.2 million. The loss of one place in the leaderboard hardly spoiled the mood of the Marvel studio bosses, because last week the third film about the adventures of the Thunderer from Asgard finally stepped over the $ 300 million mark at the American box office. This year he is second only to the films "Beauty and the Beast", "Wonder Woman", "Guardians of the Galaxy. Part 2 "," Spider-Man: Homecoming "and" It ".
