House with a clock in its walls

The house with a clock in its walls won the biggest opening weekend of director Eli Roth of his career. Over the years, Roth has carved out a place as a writer and abuser, with films like Hotel and the Death Wish remake. So, it was quite surprising to see him qualify the shots on a fantasy / family-friendly Amblin hybrid of horror that seemed to embody a sense of awe and wonder among young spectators. However, Roth has proved that he is more than a pony in his turn, and many critics are in agreement House with a clock in its walls is an entertaining tour.

With few exceptions (last year HE, for example), the month of September is usually a rather slow month at the box office. It's more or less a slack period between the end of summer blockbusters and the arrival of prize contenders and vacation outings. As such, it reads as an intelligent decision by Universal to place House with a clock in its walls in this month because he would not be facing a lot of high level competition. Fortunately for the studio, this choice paid off and Roth was able to celebrate a new personal best.

By Mojo Box Office, The house with a clock in its walls $ 26.8 million in the first three days. This figure in itself does not seem to be the most impressive, but it is far from the best start of Roth's production. It has exceeded the $ 19.5 million displayed by the original Hotel in 2006. House with a clock in its walls Foreign markets have not been very helpful, as the global total is about $ 30 million.

This is a good start for House with a clock in its wallswhose average budget was $ 42 million. This means that its breakeven point is only $ 84 million worldwide, and it will be interesting to see how that happens in the coming weeks. There is not much note coming next weekend, although the animation film Small foot should take away some of Houses family affair. The beginning of the month of October is going to be a lot more difficult, with the leader of the Oscars A star is born and Sony Venom both in first In the case of Venom, it is expected to break the opening record in October of all time, so chances are House with a clock in its walls will be eclipsed. Word of mouth is generally positive, so I hope that it will attract decent crowds for the rest of its run, although it is unlikely that it will cross.

The champion of last week, The predator, took a step forward and fell to fourth place during its second weekend, with an income of $ 8.7 million. His national total now stands at $ 40.4 million, and things are not likely to improve because of the essentially negative reception. The rest of the top five were completed by A simple favor ($ 10.4 million), The nun ($ 10.2 million) and Rich Asian boobies ($ 6.5 million)
