The box office of this weekend was related to two undisputed draws: Taylor Swift And Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
It could seem like a heavyweight matchup, but Swift’s dedicated fanbase once again proved invincible with his film “The official release party of a show Girl”, which began with $ 33 million on number 1. North AmericaSunday estimated Comscore, AMC Theater Release-Cowl announced two weeks earlier with minimum promotion-the suicide 12th studio albums, packaging music videos, back-to-back footage and sequentially served as a partner in an 89-minute experience in the scene of the song-free song.
The film played in all 540 AMC theaters in the US for three days, ending after Sunday. AMC broadcast Mexico, Canada and Paar Show Europe,
“To use the power of a movie theater to build your brand for Taylor Swift, to create enthusiasm among your fans and create a communal experience outside his touring, out of his live performance, is actually a stroke of talent,” said the senior media analyst Paul Dergarabedian of Comscore. “It has been greatly welcomed by the theater owners to be able to add another $ 33 million to the box office bottom line who were looking for materials for their big screen.”
It was opened for $ 96 million after about two years of her “The Erass Tour” concert film, with Swift expanding her line of box office dominance.
Meanwhile, Johnson showed more modest. Emily Blunt’s co-interaction of her A24 drama “The Smashing Machine”, leaving behind Paul Thomas Anderson’s “one battle”, opened in third place with only $ 6 million, which earned $ 11.1 million and has now gutted $ 107 million globally.
Despite strong reviews and 15-minute standing ovation at the Venice Film Festival-John Johnson marked one of the lowest opening as a lead.
“When Major film stars in more Indie roles in branches, such as Tom Cruise In”, in Magnolia, they are trying to redefine their careers, “said Drababedian. “They can straded both the universe, so Dwayne Johnson and he is receiving all praise. He is a reputation factor. It is a currency. He knows the box office. He studies it and he is a business man. But it is also realizing that when you go out of your comfort field, it is a certain light.
Beyond the names of two Marki, the rest of the weekend lineup offered a detailed mixture from animated adventures to horror sequel and international release.
