to remember

A sad weekend at the US box office. Out in two small theaters, the highest-rated new release (Miss Fran’s Dream Life) is at twenty-second. And there is very little movement in the top 10. In this gloomy context, where the leader has not even accumulated 10 million greenbacks, action prevails over songs.

Worn by Jason Statham beekeeper David Ayer has indeed seized this polar position that was denied him in previous weeks. With an increase in its copies (+7 this week) and a very limited drop in revenue (-13.7% compared to the previous weekend), it finally takes off. Girls in the woods. According to estimates published on Sunday.

With more than $121,000 separating the two films, it’s possible that Mean Girls will reclaim the throne when the final figures are revealed.

It is currently ahead of another musical: WonkaWhich is getting pretty good at the end of the year-end holidays, which should have been synonymous with the end of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’s career.

Well helped, I have to admit that due to the lack of novelty, the film lost only 12% of its earnings. Takes the third step of the podium. And will cross the 200 million GEL milestone on American soil in the coming days, while it has already reached 550 worldwide. A nice little success, charming in every sense of the word.

We cannot say the sameAquaman 2… but the DC movie with Jason Momoa saves the furniture like in France. Of course, its nearly $120 million in the U.S. is disappointing.

But it becomes the first film in the world to cross the 400 million mark worldwide since… Aquaman in 2018. which prevents him from drinking the whole glass.

Finally, let’s note some spectacular growth due to the increase in the number of theaters: Godzilla minus one Thus it moves from the eighteenth to the ninth position, whileAmerican fiction and Poor creatures They use Oscar nominations and more visibility.

The big winner from Toronto moves from twelfth to seventh, while the Golden Lion of Venice, ridden by the phenomenal Emma Stone, tenth last week, is now sixth.
