The story of Peter Pan, the boy who refused to grow up, invented in the early XX century Scottish writer James Barry. Character liked both children and adults and became the hero of a huge number of theater productions and films; He offered his own version, for example, the famous Walt Disney. I could not resist the temptation to make your own Pan and the company Warner Bros. – It invited the director Joe Wright (“Pride and Prejudice”, “Anna Karenina”) to make the game a picture of how Peter and Captain Hook are fighting together with the evil pirate Blackbeard. But it turned out to be converted into a blockbuster one familiar with childhood heroes is not enough.
During the weekend from 9 to 11 October, “Peng Travel in Netlandiyu” earned in the North American box office modest $ 15.5 million.
They have been just enough to take third place, and seems to “Pan” is perhaps the most high-profile failure of the year. In the production of the film, starring Hugh Jackman, Garrett Hedlund, Rooney Mara and Amanda Seyfried, has been allocated a huge sum of $ 150 million, as some was spent on advertising – and now producers of all hope for international distribution. And especially – to China, where “Journey to Netlandiyu” comes out October 22.
The reasons for the failure of the new Peter Pan is not completely clear (they were not clear and the reasons frisky start “Martian” Ridley Scott a week ago) but the film before the release received negative criticism (23% positive reviews), and the audience, still go to the cinema, put it a rating B-. And, apparently, many families felt that it was better to go to the cartoon “Hotel Transylvania 2″ (second place in the weekend with $ 20.3 million and total revenue of $ 207.7 million), which has a familiar, but still funny jokes Adam Sandler.
The leader was “Martian,” which earned its second weekend at the box office $ 37 million.
Common charges adaptation of an astronaut Andy Weir (Matt Damon), to stay on the Red Planet in splendid isolation, now account for $ 227.8 million, and the task to pay back 108 millionth budget “Martian” carried out in just 10 rolling days. But at the same time Ridley Scott workout in space issues before returning to the stories of strangers in the new “Prometheus».
It is interesting that the “Martian” also proved to be its on-screen couple. Robinson Crusoe on Mars worked for the same audience as the “Walk” Robert Zemeckis – biopic of French tightrope walker Philippe Petit (his role in the film played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt), who in the early 1970s, walked a tightrope between the skyscrapers of the World Trade Center. Critics of this film is not restrained praise (86% “fresh” on Rotten Tomatoes), «Walk” is considered one of the contenders for the “Oscar” and hire five hundred IMAX was pretty successful. That’s only access to the wide distribution was not so triumphant – just $ 3.6 million, and only the seventh place in the weekend.
However, this is not the “Journey to the Netlandiyu” – cost “Walk” of just $ 35 million, despite all the special effects and the reconstructed World Trade Center on the screen.
No more contenders for a place in the top five of the novelties to be found. Another biopic – Apple founder Steve Jobs from director Danny Boyle – came just four theaters, which grossed $ 521 thousand .; the average yield of the film turned out at the level of “Sniper” directed by Clint Eastwood, who in the same limited box office has collected $ 1,568 thousand. from every point of the show.
The fourth place at the end of the weekend went down-home comedy “The Intern” with Robert De Niro – $ 8.7 million for the weekend and $ 85.5 million of common charges. Well rounded out the top-5 US box office “mercenary” Canadian Denis Villeneuve, in which the heroine Emily Blunt opposes drug traffickers on the US-Mexican border. This thriller has earned over the weekend $ 7.4 million, a total of four weeks at the box office, he was rescued by $ 43.4 million.
