Blade Runner 2049 premieres a flop
The fantastic Blade Runner 2049, directed by Denny Villeneuve, started in North America much worse than the most pessimistic forecasts promised him. For the first weekend, his receipts amounted to only $ 31.5 million. Such a result cannot be called anything other than a failure, since the production budget, according to various estimates, ranged from $ 150 to $ 170 million. Note that even a week before the start, it was believed that the movie would collect at least 45-50 million dollars in the homeland on the premiere weekend. The reasons for this box office disaster for Warner Bros. and Sony Picture is considered excessive timing and lack of modern dynamics. All this alienated a significant part of the young viewers. Blade Runner 2049's rental could not be helped by high ratings from Western movie critics. Now the movie runs the risk of not even collecting 100 million in North America. In second place at the end of the weekend was the movie "Mountains Between Us", which grossed just over $ 10 million in American cinemas. And the third with the result of 9.6 million dollars was kept by the horror movie "It". It is worth noting that the world's box office has already exceeded $ 600 million, and this is a phenomenal result for a project of this genre.
