The US Boxing Office remains a prisoner of the Fast and the Furious
The Eighth Fast and the Furious remains number one in the North American box office, and none of the rookies who debuted at the US box office this weekend ( April 21-23 ) have failed to shake things up. leader. Moreover, only a documentary from Disneynature made it out of the debutants to the top five, but let's talk about everything in order.Fast and Furious 8 lost 60% of viewers in a week, which is generally natural for a film of this scale. $ 38.7 million was added to the blockbuster's home piggy bank, and now he has $ 163.6 million on his account. However, achievements in the USA are not the main thing that the picture can boast of - its results in the world are already approaching the coveted mark of $ 1 billion . So far, following the results of two weeks, the tape F. Gary Gray earned a total of $ 908.4 million . The largest contribution to the financial asset of the sequel was made by the residents of the Middle Kingdom, who donated $ 318 million for the benefit of the popular franchise. Today none of the critics even tries to deny that the film series Fast and Furious is notable for its illogical and sometimes absurd, but it does not claim to be a highly artistic cinema. Entertaining the viewer is her main task, and the eighth part copes with this with a bang.  Many reviewers noted the excellent duo that came out of the heroes of Dwayne Johnson and Jason State, and the studio on this wave of Universal has already begun preparing a separate film for the characters. So far, everything is in the early stages, and there is no need to talk about anything specific. Perhaps before Dominic Toretto returns to screens in the ninth Fast and the Furious , Hobbs and Shows will have time to fraternize spin-off.  The three leaders have not changed compared to last week, which means that " The Boss Baby " is in second place. As expected, the lack of strong competitors in the family movie segment went into the hands of the cartoon Tom McGrath . It is noteworthy that the feed lost only 20% of its audience, having mastered an additional $ 12.8 million . All in all, the business baby raised $ 137 million in home theaters - quite a good result, given that not everyone found the new creation of Dreamworks interesting. If we compare with the same "Smurfs", then they in the United States and $ 50 million did not reach.  The musical fairy tale " Beauty and the Beast ", which earned $ 10 million over the weekend, is not going to give up its positions either. And this is after six weeks at the box office. Emma Watson's songs and dances have pushed American viewers to shell out $ 471.1 million , and thanks to international audiences, the remake boasts an impressive $ 1.1 billion . This is more than the fees of "Maleficent", "Cinderella" and "The Jungle Book".  The documentary " Born in China ", which tells about the life of animals living in the wild expanses of the Celestial Empire, started from the fourth place. It is not often that you will meet representatives of this genre in the top five, but viewers preferred to look at a panda raising a cub, rather than Oscar Isaac and Christian Bale, fighting for the love of a woman against the backdrop of the First World War. Born in China raised $ 5.1 million on its first weekend, and reviewers named colorful visuals that convey all the natural beauty of China as one of the main advantages of the project.  The fifth position is occupied by the comedy " Leave beautifully ", as well as "The Boss-Baby" which lost only 20% of the audience. Another $ 5 million went to the piggy bank of the film Zach Braff , and the trio of retired thieves in the person of Morgan Freeman, Alan Arkin and Michael Caine can boast that they were able to rob the audience on $ 31.8 million . Thanks to film fans from other countries, the remake earned $ 50.9 million , which is twice its production budget, which means that the studio New Line has no reason to be upset.
