The spy comedy film Argylle maintained its top spot in the North American box office after the second weekend of its showing, according to estimates announced yesterday by the specialized company “Experior Relations.”
However, the revenues of the film, which was directed by Matthew Vaughn, witnessed a sharp decline, as it fell from 18 million dollars at the end of the previous week to 6.5 million dollars, as cinemas in North America were almost deserted the day before yesterday due to the final match of the American football championship, “Superbowl”. Which attracts a large number of spectators.
This parody film, co-produced by Apple, and starring Henry Cavill and singer Dua Lipa, tells the adventures of a successful author of suspenseful spy novels.
Variety magazine described the two-hour and 19-minute film as “the first major failure of the year,” given the amount of revenue it has achieved so far compared to its budget of $200 million.
The film “Lisa Frankenstein” from Focus Features Studios came in second place, earning $3.8 million in the first weekend after its release. This film, directed by Zelda Williams, daughter of the late comedian Robin Williams, mixes romance, horror and humor.
As for the action movie “The Beekeeper,” produced by Amazon/MGM Studios, it remained in third place with revenues of $3.5 million after occupying the top box office in North America for weeks.
The movie “The Chosen” dropped to fourth place, with revenues of $3.2 million.
Fifth place went to the movie “Wonka” (Warner Brothers), about an eccentric chocolatier whose character is played by star Timothée Chalamet, and it grossed $3.1 million.
