US box office set new record
American rental is on the rise, and a new all-time record is expected by the end of 2015 - over $ 11 billion in box office sales. This is reported by The Hollywood Reporter, citing data from Rentrak. This was largely made possible by the impressive start of Star Wars: Episode 7 - The Force Awakens, which on its fifth day at the box office surpassed the $ 300 million mark at home. Naturally, in the overall standings, the achievements of other rental leaders of the outgoing year were of great importance, including "Jurassic World" ($ 652 million), "Avengers 2: Age of Ultron" ($ 459 million), the cartoon "Puzzle" (356 million dollars) and others. The growth of the box office is due not only to an increase in the cost of visiting cinema retailers, but an increase in the number of tickets sold - by six percent compared to 2014. The most successful studios of 2015 were Universal and Walt Disney, which generated more than 40 percent of North American movie projects. The outsider was Warner Bros. who scored several big dips. Recall that the previous record of $ 10.9 billion was set in 2013. The Topic of Article: US box office set new record. |
