Earthlings from Chertanovo defended the box office of USA
Definitely, the current film year started very successfully for the domestic industry representatives. This is confirmed by the results of the box office for the period January 26-29 . The unconditional financial leader at the end of the past weekend was the fantastic action movie " Attraction " Fyodor Bondarchuk , easily outstripping all its competitors and breaking away from the nearest by more than 300 million rubles . The good performance of the newcomers, as well as the stability of the rest of the tapes, brought the producers a total of 824 million rubles . At the same time, no matter how skeptical our compatriots were about their native film industry, they themselves ensured the winner getting into the top five starts in the entire history of USA distribution.According to official data, the film Bondarchuk received 408 million rubles , and this amount is second only to the debut fees of "Crew" ( 501 million rubles ), "Viya" ( 603 million rubles. ), "Stalingrad" ( 524 million rubles. ) and the cartoon "Three heroes: The knight's move" ( 427 million rubles. ). Even the still actively discussed USA hit "Viking" in the first weekend cost more modest achievements, 248 million rubles. , although its advertising campaign was incomparably larger and more intrusive. In addition, the indicators of " Attraction " can be considered a record for a domestic tape with an original script. In addition, the box office of the film, which has every chance to overcome the billion dollar milestone, surpassed the start-up profits of a number of high-budget, high-quality Hollywood films of the same genre. Among them were Interstellar ( 379 million rubles. ), the first spin-off of Star Wars ( 324 million rubles. ), Prometheus ( RUB 315 million ) and Pacific Rim ( RUB 292 million ).  It turns out that, despite the general negative attitude towards USA cinema, the general public still prefers it to the Western. This situation more than completely suits the distributors, who predict a successful second week for the project due to the absence of competitors in the niche and the presence of a generally positive information background. Of course, there are negative reviews among the reviews that emphasize repeated borrowing from an overseas brother in genre with all the external originality of " Attraction ". Still, most journalists note that the film turned out, although not outstanding, but firmly on its feet and has an attractive visual shell.  Against the background of this representative of the cinema and the controversy around him, almost the winner of the previous week dropped out - the thriller " Three Xs: World Domination ". DJ Caruso did not impress the discerning audience much and especially lost when compared with the Fast and the Furious franchise. The second week brought the project the maximum decline of interest out of the five, and only 105 million rubles to boot. Such indicators do not allow comparing the picture with other representatives of the niche. And if we draw analogies with one of Vin Diesel's previous works, the fantasy "The Last Witch Hunter", you will notice that they are almost on a par.
An interesting situation has developed around the owner of the third place in the box office - the independent French-Canadian animated film " Ballerina ". With all its modest budget, unpretentious story and very straightforward morality, the film of two Erics - Summer and Warin - managed to set a kind of record. Having earned 83 million rubles. , the cartoon became the highest-grossing animated indie tape. The results of Thunder Cat ( 70 million rubles ) and Keeper of the Moon ( 63 million rubles ) are behind. And although we were presented with a very simple story of overcoming difficulties on the way to your dream, 367 thousand viewers liked it. Meanwhile, reviewers note that the inspiring and unsophisticated story is initially aimed at a very narrow audience - at very young dreamy girls, which does not at all make the picture bad. Moreover, it was considered worthy to be shown not just anywhere, but in the old building of the Mariinsky Theater - it was there that the USA premiere of " Ballerina " took place.  The fourth place for the third week has been retained by the musical drama " La La Land ", which is confidently running at the box office. The most hotly discussed film of the award season added another 42 million rubles to its piggy bank. Thus, his total collection at the moment is 235 million rubles. , which brings the representative of this genre, not the most popular in our country, to new heights. In addition, the clear favorite of the race for the upcoming " Oscar " by financial indicators bypassed "Mamma Mia" ( 233 million rubles ). The project Damien Chazelle , which over the past few years has brought his own career to a completely different professional level, could be called the most popular musical among USA film lovers, if he had not crossed the road "Hipsters" with their final 479 million rubles . However, " La-La Land " has not yet completed its triumphal march across the country's screens, and it has every chance, if not to overtake the brainchild of Valery Todorovsky, then at least approach it.  At the end of our review is the most profitable USA horror movie to date - " Bride ". The owner of controversial reviews from professionals and movie fans, this horror movie Svyatoslav Podgaevsky nevertheless earned an additional 37 million rubles , bringing its total amount to 160 million rubles. b>and leaving behind the previous record holder in this niche - The Queen of Spades ( 140 million rubles ) by the same director.
