Spy credits: children with Nagiyev collected the cash register

The Russian rental has changed leaders. In the first place is the newcomer "Spy Kids" with Dmitry Nagiyev. The comedy earned 26.3 million rubles. On the second line is another fresh film, the American action film "Dispatcher" directed by David Mackenzie. The third place went to the main summer hit "To Grandpa's Village" with Yuri Stoyanov, who has been at the top since mid-June, earning almost 800 million rubles during this time. The new crime comedy "Gelya" is in fourth position. The Scarlett Johansson melodrama "She Said Yes!" didn't even make it to the top ten. Izvestia evaluated the preliminary results of the national box office over the weekend.

Superpowers for growth

In the first place in terms of fees is the new film "Spy Kids" starring Dmitry Nagiyev. According to the EAIS (Unified Federal Automatic Information System for information about movie screenings in cinemas), over the past weekend, the tape collected 26.3 million rubles. The plot about the adventures of a family of special agents, where not only adults but also teenagers are involved in the investigation of complicated cases, is not unique. Such stories have fascinated producers more than once. I remember Robert Rodriguez's film "Children of Spies" starring Antonio Banderas. It was not just a hit — the picture became a cult, several sequels were released, and some surprised with technological experiments. It is clear that the Russian comedy is trying to monetize the American brand in its favor, and curiously, it succeeds.

Ivan Arkhipov's painting tells about a family of special agents, where a son and two daughters have unique abilities. Mikhail is a computer genius, Vita knows hypnosis, Dana is a master of sports in martial arts. Gifted children are also adventurous. They created the DaMiNik spy agency. Their goal is to become super agents and find their mother, who could not be found by the super agent Voice — their father, played by Dmitry Nagiyev. The desire to realize their dreams leads children to a camp where superpowers train.

According to Olga Zinyakova, president of the KARO cinema chain, new films with Dmitry Nagiyev do not guarantee a box office.

"Still, a lot depends not only on the performer of the main role, but also on the director, the marketing of the project, and the release potential in general,— Olga Zinyakova told Izvestia. — But Nagiyev invariably adds points to the film at the beginning and audience interest in the credits. The result of the "Spy Kids" is most comparable to the "New Year in Berezovka". This is a solid result. After all, unlike this release, "Spy Kids" was not released during the high season, when the target audience is preparing for school.

Action movie stars Igor Zizhikin and Oleg Taktarov starred in the family comedy. Spy children are played by Vitaly Kornienko, Diana Hudz, Mikhail Arkhipov.

Fear the "Avatar"

According to the head of the KARO cinema chain, "Spy Kids" will still be able to collect the box office before the release of the film "Family Ghost" starring Nikita Kologrivy. In the meantime, the American action film "Dispatcher" directed by David Mackenzie is among the leaders of the domestic distribution. He has the second place in fees.

In the story, Tom (Riz Ahmed) is a professional "decider." His task is to get people out of trouble who have crossed the path of business and government structures. He is the one who can be useful to Sarah Grant (Lily James). She's been hunted. Sarah wants to make secret documents public. The star of the Avatar franchise, Sam Worthington, played the role of the antagonist, he works for a pharmaceutical corporation. And he's tasked with finding Sarah and silencing her.

The action-thriller "Dispatcher" collected 18.7 million rubles over the weekend. Only 300 thousand separate him from the comedy "To the village of grandpa." The film with Yuri Stoyanov, released back in June, is on the third line of the box office. He earned 18.4 million rubles at the box office over the past weekend.

Racing with mice

Another novelty, the crime comedy "Gelya", is the fourth, at the start the film earned 12.1 million rubles. About the same number of viewers came to "Gel" (27.4 thousand) as to the "Dispatcher" sessions (30.7 thousand people). The ticket price for a domestic action movie was lower, so it was not possible to earn money like an American action movie. What else was missing from the new film with Anton Vasiliev and Ilya Malakov?

— It cannot be said that Gel performed worse, there is too small a gap in the results, — Olga Zinyakova is sure. — The releases simply divided a similar audience among themselves, weakening each other's results.

According to the plot, for the sake of a comfortable future for his family, trucker Sanya (Ilya Malakov) decides to overtake an obviously criminally mined Volkswagen, or simply "Gel." The trip turns into a police chase that pits Sanya against police Captain Orekhov (Anton Vasiliev). This meeting will change their lives forever.

Happy in a place: what is the memory of the festival "Shorter" in Kaliningrad?

The main prizes went to films about strange happiness and parents who don't give up.

The film stars Viktor Dobronravov, Anton Kuznetsov, Daria Melnikova, and Juliet Shabanova. The film was directed by Stas Ivanov.

Last week's leader, the cartoon "Fluffy Fast and Furious: Grand Prix", dropped to fifth place. Over the weekend, animation from Timeless Films and Mack Magic studios earned 11.5 million. This is two times less than the first week of rental. Racing mice were bypassed by four films at once. But if the rodents held on to the Russian screen with their tenacious paws, then sexy beauty Scarlett Johansson with the movie "She said Yes!" did not even reach the top ten. In the comedy about how three daughters marry off their mother, the actress played the role of a newlywed. But it turned out to be not very interesting for the audience, for the whole weekend a little more than 7 thousand people went to the film.
