Is there still a place for the “Ghostbusters” saga in movie theaters? Yes if we trust the good start of the new film signed Jason Reitman, which seizes the first place at the American box office.
TO REMEMBER
It is not known if any strange things were going on in the neighborhood. But the American public decided to call the heroes of Ghostbusters : the new film signed Jason Reitman (son of Ivan, author of the first two opus) seizes the head of the box office with receipts estimated at 44 million dollars for its first weekend of exploitation. Which is well above forecasts and very close to the score achieved by the reboot of Paul Feig in 2016 (46 million greenbacks). In the middle of summer and at a time when the rooms were in better health.
While he told us to have ideas for a sequel, during his visit to Paris, Jason Reitman may be able to bring out the Proton pack in a short time, if this good start is confirmed. He allows him, in any case, to dethrone The Eternals by Marvel and Chloé Zhao, who lost only one place and became the seventh biggest success of the year 2021 on American soil, ahead of Free Guy and behind To die can wait.
The last James Bond of the Daniel Craig era, the feature film by Cary Joji Fukunaga is certainly not “than” the sixth biggest hit of the year in the United States today. But the Hollywood champion in the rest of the world: with a cumulative amount now amounting to 734 million dollars, it is ahead of Fast & Furious 9 and is getting closer to the Chinese films Hi, Mom (822 million) and The Battle at Lake Changjin (883 million), current world leaders.
Among the rare novelties present in this Top 10, The Williams Method comes directly into fourth place with $ 5,700,000. That is to say a start a little less strong than those of Hidden Beauty and Alone against all, the last dramatic roles to date of Will Smith, released at the same time and on a little less copies.
But we must not forget that the release of this biopic dedicated to the father of Serena and Venus Williams was made in American theaters and on HBO Max on Friday, November 19. And that this start, given the context and genre of the film, is not as catastrophic as it seems, even being below expectations.
“The Williams Method” hits theaters on December 1st. Like “Ghostbusters – The Legacy”:
