"This: Chapter 2", the sequel to the horror film adapted from Stephen King's novel, made this weekend a terrifying entry to the North American box office, according to the final figures released Monday by the specialized company Exhibitor Relations .
The return of the evil clown Grippe-Sou, starring Jessica Chastain in particular, slammed the competition by raising $ 91 million from Friday to Sunday in theaters in the United States and Canada. It's a little worse than the 123 million harvested at its release in 2017 by the first "That" name, the most lucrative horror film in history. But this second opus still leaves far behind the box office its runner-up weekend, "The Fall of the President", and its $ 5.9 million only (53.4 million in three weeks).
The "Lion King" reaches 1.6 billion in revenue
In this feature film by Ric Roman Waugh, Gerard Butler resumes his role as bodyguard of the American president (Morgan Freeman), against which he is accused of having hatched an assassination attempt.
The bad boys of "Good Boys", a comedy on the episodes of three teenagers awakening to sexuality, cling to the podium with $ 5.5 million in three days (nearly 67 million in four weeks).
Unbearable from the top of the rankings, the "Lion King" of Disney, fourth, has added 4.3 million to revenues reaching $ 1.6 billion worldwide since its release two months ago.
"Fast & Furious: Hobbs & Shaw", the latest installment of the hugely popular race car and big muscle enthusiast franchise, is still close to fifth place with $ 3.8 million, and more than $ 164 million in total since its released six weeks ago.
