This week, the North American film market is slightly deserted, with only 1 new film released, but this new film is also a good one - "Ace Bodyguard 2" starring Ryan Reynolds and Samuel Jackson successfully reached the first place with a score of 11.39 million, while Sony's "Orphan Football Team" also managed to reach the list after adding 915 theaters, ranking 8th, and other films fell to varying degrees. For details, please see the following list.
First, the list overview
At the top of the list this week is Lionsgate's Ace Bodyguard 2, which earned $11.39 million over three days over the weekend, as it was released on Wednesday and accumulated 16.74 million in five days. "Ace Bodyguard 1" was released in 2017, and it cost 30 million yuan in exchange for 176 million box office worldwide, so the second part is logical, but because of the epidemic, "Ace Bodyguard 2", which should have been released on August 28 last year, has been postponed to now, and also because of the epidemic, the film's performance is also seriously lower than the first part (21.4 million premiere), of course, the epidemic is only part of the reason, and part of the reason is because the film is really bad, 27% of the Rotten Tomatoes index is 43% of the first part. It's still rotten, if there are not these big stars to support the field, it is estimated that 10 million can not be fished. According to the current trend, the film can probably reach 35 million, if the cost of the film is really reported as much as 70 million, then the pants will be lost, see if you can rely on streaming media and DVD distribution back a little bit of this. The film currently grosses 638,000 overseas.
In second place this week is A Quiet Place 2, with three-day revenue of 9.08 million, down 24.4 percent to accumulate 124 million. The film currently grosses 96.7 million overseas.
The third place was "Peter Rabbit 2", with a three-day income of 6.08 million, down 39.8%, accumulating 20.3 million. The film currently grosses $70.5 million overseas.
The fourth place was "The Conjuring 3", which earned 5 million in three days, down 51.5%, accumulating 53.46 million. The film currently grosses 89.2 million overseas.
The fifth place is "Black and White Witch Kuila", earning 4.82 million in three days, down 28.4%, accumulating 64.46 million. The film currently grosses $95.2 million overseas.
The sixth place is "In the Highlands", earning 4.2 million in three days, down 63.5%, accumulating 19.65 million. The film currently grosses $2.1 million overseas.
Seventh place is "Wild Spirit", which earned 1.55 million in three days, down 39.4%, accumulating 13.77 million. The film currently grosses $5.37 million overseas.
The eighth place is the historical theme film "Orphan Rugby Team" released by Sony, which earned 903,000 yuan in three days, up 259.2%, accumulating 1.27 million. The film has not been able to create a miracle in the case of such a large increase in the theater, and its quality is still somewhat related, its Rotten Tomatoes index is 58%, which can only be regarded as decent. The film is not currently released overseas.
The ninth place is "Ghost Next Door 2", with a three-day income of 601,000, down 40.5%, accumulating 2.01 million. The film is not currently released overseas.
The tenth place was "The Wrath of Man", which earned 455,000 yuan in three days, down 32.3%, accumulating 26.81 million. The film currently grossed $68.3 million overseas.
Second, the new film reviews
Ace Bodyguard 2
At that time, after watching "Ace Bodyguard 1", I knew that this film would make a sequel, and I also guessed that Samuel Jackson's daughter-in-law (Salma Hayek) in the sequel was estimated to have an important role, but I did not expect it to be so. But there are still two points that I did not expect, one is that the plot of this film is very devastating, and the other is that the cost of this film has increased significantly. "Ace Bodyguard 2" almost enabled the original team, the director is still Patrick Hughes, the screenwriter has become Tom O'Connor, Phillip Murphy and Brandon Murphy, the first film is only Tom O'Connor, the actors in addition to the three giants, and added Antonio Banderas and Morgan Freeman two big names, the cast has been enhanced, but the plot has not kept up, The direct consequence is that the cost has increased, from the first part of the 30 million to the 70 million of this part, this risk has also increased a lot, 70 million for the big factory is not worth mentioning, but for the peak entertainment such a small factory, it is a lot of money, even if there is no epidemic, the global box office of this piece is estimated to be about 200 million knives, to put it bluntly, barely profitable, so the biggest failure of personal rushing foot this piece is not how bad the plot is, but the cost is too high. And the director of the film is not the kind of hin, Patrick Hughes has also made "Daredevil 3" and "Ace Bodyguard 1" two positive films before, and from the plot point of view are bad films, "Ace Bodyguard 1" can make money in addition to good comedy effects, is 30 million low cost, this director is good at shooting action movies, but it is useless, and because it is an R-rated movie, it cannot be released in the Chinese mainland, and this time the 70 million currently seems to be nothing. The third part is estimated to be gone, of course, it is not ruled out that there will be others to take over, such as the "wronged head" Netflix likes to do this, 400 million US dollars to take over the "sharp blade out of the sheath" so far I have not figured out the mystery inside. There is no HD version of this film at present, and those who want to see it can wait.
The film has a Rotten Tomatoes index of 26% (38 fresh tomatoes, 107 rotten tomatoes), a Metacritic score of 32, and a CinemaScore score of B.
Little Plum Recommendation Index: ★★ ☆
"RogerEbert.com": 75 points, this film has stars, scenes, and violence enough, it is worth watching.
Boston Globe: 38 minutes, never seen such a boring action movie.
"San Francisco Chronicle": 0 points, as an action film is nothing cool, as a comedy and no laugh, do you burn so much money because there is a home in the mine?
