They can't believe their ears: "The Maid" overtook "Cheburashka 2" at the box office

The acclaimed thriller "The Maid" starring Sidney Sweeney and Amanda Seyfried overtook the second part of Cheburashka last weekend and took the first place in the box office. The film recorded 166 million rubles on its account, which is about the same amount for it, up to a billion. Three Russian fairy tales — apart from Cheburashka, these are Pinocchio and Prostokvashino — began their second month in the top of the domestic film distribution. But the long-awaited "Return to Silent Hill" rapidly lost ground by the second weekend in the cinema. Izvestia — about the results of the domestic rental last weekend.

"The Maid" is ahead of "Cheburashka 2"

The psychological thriller "The Maid" starring Amanda Seyfried, whom the viewer remembers from "Mean Girls" and "Dear John", and the star of "Euphoria" Sidney Sweeney reached the first line of the domestic box office after the fourth week at the box office. According to the EAIS, the film adaptation of Frida McFadden's bestseller earned almost 167 million rubles over the weekend. If she keeps up this pace, she will become a new billionaire.

— The first two weekends, the movie "The Maid" showed a box office level lower than the last two. This demonstrates not only that interest is not falling, but it is only increasing," Olga Zinyakova, president of the KARO cinema chain, explained to Izvestia. — The release has every chance of reaching the billionth mark in the next couple of weeks. This is an excellent result, which once again clearly demonstrates the need to rent high-quality films for an adult audience. After a lot of family content, the driving picture with Sydney Sweeney and Amanda Seyfried feels like a breath of fresh air.

"The Maid" managed to shift the second part of "Cheburashka" to the second line before this permanent leader. Dmitry Dyachenko's fairy tale has added another 105 million rubles to its account. The collections of the painting show a gradual decline. A week earlier, they were almost twice as much — 196 million rubles.

The total box office receipts of the tape reached 5.8 billion rubles, however, judging by the falling coverage, the sequel will not be able to repeat the record of the first part (6.8 billion rubles).

Igor Voloshin's fairy tale "Pinocchio" and Sarik Andreasyan's "Prostokvashino" are still in the top of the domestic film distribution. All three films began their second month on the big screens of the Russian Federation.

"Silent Hill" is failing, "Dad" is not living up to expectations

Christophe Gahn's new film, the long—awaited Return to Silent Hill, has noticeably lost ground. The film was released 20 years after the first part, so horror fans paid a lot of attention to it. At the start, he earned 178 million rubles over the weekend, but by the second weekend, fees had dropped by about 2.5 times and amounted to about 67 million rubles.

The best news of the weekend was the disaster film "Greenland 2: Migration" starring Gerard Butler. He debuted from the third line of the rating with 72 million rubles. Another premiere of the week, the family comedy "Daddy Can," on the contrary, showed a weak start. She took the 11th line of the box office, earning only about 26 million rubles over the weekend.

— The comedy with Alexander Revva "Daddy can" has not reached its full potential. The film with a rating of 6+ was prevented by competitors in the family niche and a powerful rival in the form of another comedy "Comment on it" with a bright cast: Alexander Petrov, Sergey Burunov, Tikhon Zhiznevsky, Irina Gorbacheva and many other Russian stars. In this situation, the second release has a more advantageous rating of 16+, which means adult humor and attracts an audience tired of children's releases. The sports drama "The Golden Double" about the legendary Spartak player Nikita Simonyan did not show the best result. He was prevented by the well-proven sequel to the disaster film Greenland starring Gerard Butler," said Olga Zinyakova.

The sports drama "Marty the Magnificent" starring Timothy Chalamet, for which the actor recently received a Golden Globe, did not show great success at the Russian box office. His fees amounted to another 45 million rubles. Total — 227 million.

Cinema attendance dropped even more over the weekend. In the period from January 29 to February 1, it reached 1.7 million viewers. A week earlier — 2.3 million, three — 5.2 million. During the January holidays, the mark reached 14.2 million.

"We have a movie about a robbery, a love story, and a parable about the vicious idea of the American dream."

— It would be too ambitious to assume that after the phenomenal attendance and box office of the New Year's battle, we will break into February at the same speeds. A slight lull is expected, but before a new surge. Attendance will increase on the weekends close to February 14th and 23rd. And we will have something to see," Olga Zinyakova predicts.

Upcoming releases include "The Tale of Tsar Saltan" with Pavel Priluchny and Lisa Moryak, the melodrama "Happy when You're Not" with Sasha Bortich, the comedies "Fire Zhora" with Danila Kozlovsky and Mikhail Galustyan, "Ravioli Oli" with Olga Buzova and "Unholy Valentine" with Anastasia Krasovskaya and Gleb Kalyuzhny, and also the youth drama "The First" with Oleg Savostyuk.

In addition, in February, "Beauty" with Julia Peresild and Slava Kopeikin, the thriller "Someone Must Die" with Pavel Derevyanko and the fantasy "The King and the Fool" will be released. Forever." After the success of the series, the latter can attract an audience to the cinema that rarely chooses such leisure time.
