"Toy Story 4" maintained its pole position at the North American box office for the second consecutive weekend, pocketing $ 57.9 million in three days, according to preliminary figures released Sunday by the specialized company Exhibitor Relations.
Woody, Buzz the Lightning and their friends have helped the Pixar-Disney film industry reap $ 236.9 million since its release in North American theaters ten days ago.
In this new installment, cowboy Woody, abandoned by his new owner Bonnie, enjoys a motorhome trip to convince Forky, made by the girl with a fork and three pieces of string, it is well a toy.
It's a scariest toy, the Annabelle doll, which returns to better haunt the spectators and to climb on the second step of the podium. This horror film, dubbed "Annabelle: The House of Evil", the 7th of the universe "Conjuring", got $ 20.4 million for its first weekend on the screens.
In this thriller, the evil doll, yet locked up by its demonologists, will cross the road of their 10-year-old daughter - played by Mckenna Grace ("Me, Tonya") - and her friends. Guaranteed chills.
Imagine for a moment, you are the only one to have heard about the Beatles, why not take back their repertoire and get your place in the musical pantheon? This is the scenario of the movie "Yesterday", third box office for its output with $ 17 million insured. On his way, Jack Malik (Himesh Patel) will cross, to accompany him, the singer Ed Sheeran, interpreting his own role.
"Aladdin", with Will Smith in the role of genius, is stuck at the foot of the podium, with 9.3 million recipes. After six weeks in theaters, the Disney film earned $ 305.9 million.
