Disney's Aladdin wins first place at the box office

Memorial Day weekend has always been slow, despite Disney's efforts.

Last year, his movie "Solo: A Star Wars Story", devoted to Star Wars, raised $ 103 million over the four-day holiday weekend. A major disappointment for a film taking place in a very distant galaxy. And before that, the studio had worse artists such as "Pirates of the Caribbean: The dead men do not tell any story" (2017), "Alice on the other side of the mirror" (2016) and "Tomorrowland" (2015) ).

This year, they had the Aladdin remake live during the holidays and it seems like Disney has finally found a title that motivates people to take a break from the pool parties and barbecues to the multiplex.

"Aladdin", a remake of the beloved Disney animated movie of 1992, brought in about $ 86.1 million over the weekend in the country, and by Monday, the holidays will cost $ 105 million. It was released on 4,476 copies, the largest ever recorded for a Disney Day Memorial Day weekend.

This gross $ 105 million over four days is the sixth best ever opening for the holiday weekend, surpbading 2011's "The Hangover Part II" ($ 103.4 million).

It's also the third best opening of the year, eliminating the "we" from Universal ($ 71.1 million). Disney now holds the first three national openings of the year, since "Aladdin" joins "Captain Marvel" ($ 153.4 million) and "Avengers: Endgame" ($ 357.1 million).

The viewers certainly do not feel the same vis-à-vis the film as the critics. The critical score on Rotten Tomatoes is 58%, but it has a 93% audience score, of which more than 6,300 are audited listeners. "Verified" is the new feature film from Rott Tomatoes, launched last week, which highlights the number of viewers who bought tickets to watch the movie.

With "Aladdin" at the top of the national box office, this is four of the last five weeks that a Disney title is the number one movie since April 26th. Previously, "Avengers: Endgame" was leading the tripled weekend. John Wick's win: Chapter 3 – Parabellum last week is the only movie to win gold from the house built by Mickey.

But staying at the top will not be easy for "Aladdin". There is a lot of competition next week with Warner Bros. & # 39; "Godzilla: Kind of the Monsters", Elton John's "Rocketman" biopic from Paramount, and "Ma", Blumhouse's latest Universal album.
