The Boss Sucker holds the US Box Office in his fist
Last weekend ( April 7-9 ), the leader and vice-leader of the US box office managed to hold their ground. At the same time, the newcomers of the rental did not lose face, but distributors noted that the Americans visited cinemas without much eagerness, probably in anticipation of the premiere of the eighth "Fast and the Furious", which has already begun to collect positive reviews from critics.In the meantime, Dominic Toretto and the company are just getting ready to exit, " The Boss Baby " continues to build rivals. In the second weekend, the cartoon Tom McGrath won the sum of $ 26.3 million , and now his achievements at home are estimated at $ 89.4 million . The film about the business baby also demonstrates good results outside the United States, where she managed to earn $ 110.4 million . Very soon, the global collection of "Boss-Baby" will exceed the mark of $ 200 million . If the audience, judging by the numbers, liked the new creation of DreamWorks , the critics were not happy with it. The main problem of the cartoon is the use of tricks and plot moves that have already been tested in practice. In general, the standard formula with the theme of world domination and chases has paid off financially, but if the creators of the picture had a little more imagination, The Boss Baby would have turned out to be more interesting and original.  Like last weekend, Beauty and the Beast fell just short of the top ranked leader, raising an additional $ 25M . The musical fairy tale may not amaze the imagination with visual effects, like the same "The Jungle Book", but $ 432.3 million in its piggy bank already exists. If we talk about the worldwide box office, then the tape there Bill Condon is approaching the mark of $ 1 billion . Is this not proof that Disney has chosen the right strategy? In the coming years, viewers will see more than once how the heroes of their favorite childhood cartoons come to life on the big screens.  The cartoon " The Smurfs." Lost Village ". In its debut weekend, the triquel has mastered $ 14 million - approximately as much as the distributors predicted. However, Sony is hardly happy with this result. The first part of the franchise raised at one time $ 563.7 million , the sequel two years later earned much less - $ 347.5 million , and The Lost Village Major bosses saw it as one way to revive the franchise. However, judging by the first results, the film series may end on the triquel. Of course, the film was made for a modest $ 60 million , and given revenues from other countries, it already has $ 56.1 million , but it is unlikely that Sony b>  Cinema visitors were satisfied with the triquel and gave it an A grade, but reviewers do not share the opinion of the inhabitants. Everything about Kelly Asbury was predictable, the plot moves were hackneyed, and the animation was simple. Critics do not hesitate to call the new "The Smurfs" a bright dummy, which may appeal only to very young viewers and, in fact, fans of Smurfs.  Another newcomer to the box office, the comedy " Leave Nicely ", in the presence of strong competitors, even managed to exceed expectations - instead of the expected $ 8 million , the film Zach Braff immediately earned $ 12.5 million . A remake of the 1979 tape about a trinity of retirees who decided to rob a bank, boasts an excellent cast - entirely Oscar winners Morgan Freeman, Alan Arkin and Michael Caine. Largely thanks to them, the film will not be lost among other projects with a similar theme.  The fifth line according to the results of the weekend went to " Ghost in the Shell ". We can already say with confidence that the adaptation of the cult manga did not suit the Americans at all. In addition to the fact that the film Rupert Sanders had a weak start at the box office, it also lost 60% of the audience, which resulted in a modest for a tape of this scale $ 7.4 million . Viewers from the United States for two weeks have generous only $ 31.6 million to view it, and $ 124.4 million of global gross is very far from the result that the studio was counting on Paramount .
