New York – Critics criticized it and the audience did not give it a much better rating. But on Sunday, the studio estimated, despite the turmoil, Mel Gibson’s “Flight Risk” managed to reach number 1 at the box office with a slight earning of $ 12 million.
In a cool weekend, even for the month of on the January cold film-moving month, the top spot was found by the Lionsgate Thriller, in which Mark Wahlberg got Air Marshal (Michel Dakri) and fugitive (Topper Grace) fly in Alaska Walled as a pilot. But this was not a particularly victorious result for the 2016 “Haxaw Ridge” directed by Gibson. Reviews (21% fresh on Rotain Tomatos) and viewer scores (a “C” cinemaskor) were terrible.
President Donald Trump recently nominated Gibson with John Wot and Sylvester Stallone as “Special Ambassador” in Hollywood.
Over the weekend, Hollywood’s attention was more focused on the Sunndens Film Festival and Thursday’s Oscar enrollment, which was postponed twice due to wildfire in the Los Angeles region.
The weekend was also a small test whether once again the normal Oscar “collision” that can sometimes follow nomination, still exists. Most of the contenders have completed a large part of their dramatic performances so far and are more likely to see a boom on VOD or streaming.
But the weekend was the most adventurous bet A24, which inspired Brady Corbett’s “The Brutilist” for a wide release of three and a half hours of epic nominated for the 10 Academy Awards. Although some officials initially welcomed the “The Brutilist”, which is running with the interval, “Andistributable”, Corbett has said, A24 achieved the film from the Venice Film Festival and did a solid business, limited release Colored $ 6 million in. ,
In broad release, it earned $ 2.9 million – which is far from the blockbuster amount but is the best weekend ever for “The Brutilist”.
The audience was extremely low for another best picture nominee person: Raymail Ross’s “Nickel Boys.” The release of Amazon MGM Studios was shot almost completely in an innovative manner in the first-person POV, and earned only $ 340,171 at 540 locations after expanding up to 300 theaters.
Martin Luther King Jr. over the last few years, one of the lowest weekends of King Junior, no new release has any major impact.
Steven Soderberg’s “presence”, a well -reviewed horror film shot from a ghost perspective inside a suburban house, started with $ 3.4 million at 1,750 locations. The film was produced in only $ 2 million, released by Neon and acquired by Sunndans last year.
The top spots otherwise moved to the holdover. Walt Disney Company’s “Mufasa: The Lion King” earned $ 8.7 million in the sixth weekend of release and finished second. After a slow start, the film directed by Barry Jenkins has grossed $ 626.7 million globally.
Sony Pictures’ KK Palmer and SZA -led “One of Dem Days” performed well in their second weekend, the ticket sales fell by only 32% with $ 8 million. In recent years, some comedies have been successful on the big screen, but “One of Dem Days” has proved to be an exception.
