Ben-Hur failed at the American box office
The movie "Ben-Hur", which was shot by USA director Timur Bekmambetov, had an unsuccessful start at the American box office. By the end of the premiere weekend, the movie, with a production budget of $ 100 million, made only $ 11.3 million, which allowed it to take only fourth place overall. The project has no hope of recoupment at home distribution, the funds spent on production can be returned only through foreign movie markets. And the leadership in North America was kept by the movie "Suicide Squad", based on the DC comics series of the same name. His third weekend gross totaled $ 20.7 million, and worldwide grossed $ 572 million. The second place went to the adult animated movie "The Complete Raskolbas", which earned another $ 15.3 million. The global project raised at a cost of only $ 19 million exceeded $ 70 million. In third place was another debutant - the comedy "Guys with Guns", which started with a result of 12.6 million dollars. The production budget of the movie at the time of this writing was not specified, but, most likely, it is quite modest, and the comedy will not have any problems with recoupment.
