Transformers 3: The Dark Side of the Moon continues to hold the first place, With a very modest decline for the blockbuster (56%) and, especially, if we compare with the previous parts (65% for the first and 83% for the second). In the list of highest-grossing films threequel by director Michael Bay has already settled in ninth place, breaking the mark of 1 billion rubles or $35.93M. The closest purpose - 2012 with $36.67M.
At first Just Go with It ($4.41M), and then the sequel to The Hangover ($5.08M), not long stayed the leaders of box-office debut among the Hollywood comedies. We now have a new and, frankly, a rather unexpected record holder - Bad Teacher. Comedy with Cameron Diaz and Justin Timberlake came on 538 screens and took $5.89M. Powerful and aggressive advertising, premiere in Moscow, which received wide press coverage, recognizable and attractive actors, vivid characters, romantic line, and the nostalgic memories of the school helped to the maximum reach an audience of both sexes. While this is the best start among the world territories: in Germany it was $5.32M, in the UK - $3.17M.
Family-oriented comedy Mr. Popper's Penguins for the first four days earned $2.03M. This is certainly not the best indicator for Jim Carrey, but reasonable for a standard film with naughty animals. And advertising was much less, as opposed to a neighbor by date. In Germany, Australia and Brazil, Penguins debuted with fewer results.
Cars 2 after the failed second weekend had a good third, losing only 53%. All in all the animated film took $18.49M. More than any other project from "Pixar".
The new film by Lars von Trier's Melancholia was launched in sixth place with $0.16M on 100 screens. A good result for a particular independent drama.
