It was like at the end of the 80's this weekend at the box office. Rehabilitation of Pet Sematary (which looked more like a remake) and a movie of superheroes with more than a few nods to Large together have grossed more than $ 78 million. Can they finally match the $ 172 million that these films made? Or could Shazam! to reach this number alone?

DC Shazam! He led the box office with $ 53.45 million this weekend, in addition to the $ 3.3 million that he had earned during screenings in preview. It was higher than the projections. Even if it's the lowest aperture in DC's extended universe, it's giving the movie as if it's like giving The ant man a difficult moment not to live up to the number of Captain America or Iron Man. Shazam! is a different beast from the DCEU, an offer that critics seem to dig. Shazam! obtained a score of 91% on the Tomatometer, just under 92% of Wonder Woman. It's also higher than two of Christopher Nolan Batman's films – Batman begins and The black knight gets up – which are a universe apart from the current crop DC.
Shazam! currently holds the ninth best opening weekend in April; which will be pushed back to 10 on April 26 when Avengers: End of the game opens Among the 10 films that had the biggest openings in April, the low bar for the ultimate totals was set by Fast and furious ($ 155 million) and 2010 Clash of the Titans ($ 163.2 million). The top two multiples of the top 10 of April were won by A silent place (3.74 times its opening weekend) and 2016 The jungle Book (3.52). Their tomometer scores were both 95%. Word of mouth seems to be solid for Shazam!which bodes well for its future. The R-rated Hellboy It is unlikely that the target audience of the DC group will be affected, and if it manages to maintain a drop of less than 45%, it should be on track to earn at least $ 172 million and potentially exceed the initial gain. The ant man$ 180 million.
Wrong Returns: The best of enemies Struggles to find allies

The best of enemies has opened with $ 4.5 million from 1,705 theaters, which represents the seventh lowest average opening per room of STX Entertainment. The critics were mixed in the movie – it has a Tomatometer score of 52% – and audiences have not shown themselves in impressive numbers. STX had a better month in January with its Weinstein Co. van The rise, which remains one of the five most profitable films of the year with $ 107 million. It was the second best count (behind Bad moms) for the studio for almost four years.
The rest of the top 10 and beyond: Stephen King continues to attract crowds, but can Sematary Match the original?

An intelligent counter-programming of Paramount Pictures has seen the all-new interpretation of Stephen King Pet Sematary land in second place with $ 25 million, despite a less than stellar response from critics. The film received rave reviews after its premiere at the South By Southwest Film Festival, but is now barely fresh with 61% on the Tomatometer. It's better than the critics of Mary Lambert's 1989 version. Pet Sematary (48% with 31 critics), but without a strong word of mouth, it is now doubtful that the new film could reach the $ 57.4 million that the original film had made 30 years ago. (That's about $ 117 million in today's dollars.)
There seems to be little hope that the directors' version, Kevin Kölsch and Dennis Widmyer, will match the weekend's $ 25 million inflation rate. Of the eight horror films that opened between $ 22 million and $ 26 million, only Visit and 2005 The horror of Amityville managed to exceed $ 57 million. (Each realized $ 65.2 million). Two other films – the 2013 film evil Dead and 2015 Fighting spirit – seem to be more in line with the audience response and lost 63.2% and 64.4% respectively during their second weekend. Tune in next week to see in which direction Pet Sematary go.

Meanwhile, another horror movie climbs into the charts of newbie players. Jordan Peele's We is now ahead of 2018 Halloween after 17 days, with $ 152.3 million against a total of $ 150.2 million. It's the second highest of all time for a horror movie. He also beat HalloweenThird weekend ($ 13.8 to $ 10.8 million). Pet Sematary took viewers We this weekend but more people will still talk We next week while he continues to chart his way to $ 200 million. Its international total is $ 216.5 million.
A movie that will not bring in $ 200 million – at least not on the national front – is Tim Burton's. Dumbo. This is the 13th Disney movie released in more than 3,000 movie theaters, with a 60% drop or more during its second weekend. With $ 76 million after 10 days, this puts Dumbo behind 1999 Tarzan, Lilo & Stitch, and Wild pigs on Disney cards. The film grossed $ 137.5 million more internationally, for a total of $ 213 million to date. It will take more than half a billion dollars to break even.
Good thing Captain MarvelThe numbers are always beautiful. Its national revenue of $ 374 million is the 19th highest gross performance after 31 days of publication. And the $ 12.6 million he won this weekend is the 21st best fifth weekend of all time. It's now the 37th film to break the billion dollar mark (and the seventh Marvel Cinematic film: A universe to do it) and it continues to climb on these two charts. This weekend, it also becomes the 30th most profitable film of all time.

John Krasinski A silent place opened at $ 50.2 million, starting to become one of the greatest horror movies of all time. Universal comedy blockers came in third with $ 20.5 million and Ted Kennedy's drama Chappaquiddick opened in seventh position with $ 5.7 million. Steven Spielberg Player Loan A was two days to exceed $ 100 million in the domestic market. The second weekend of this $ 24.6 million film allowed the top 10 films to reach a total of $ 140.86 million, with an average Tomatometer score of 60.9 %. The top 10 this year reported about $ 138.59 million and an average of 64.7% on the Tomatometer.
