The North American box office statistics website boxofficemojo.com released the latest weekend movie market data on February 12. 51 films closed at more than US$190 million, a year-on-year increase of 92%, strongly reversing the weak trend of the North American box office falling below the 100 million mark last weekend.

The three new films have contributed significantly to the rise this time. This is also the first time in recent times that all the top three North American box office charts have been occupied by new films.

The new top name on the list is the animated film "The LEGO Batman Movie" produced by Warner Bros. The 104-minute film costs US$80 million. It tells the story of Batman and superheroes working together to maintain peace in the city and fight against the dark forces. In the three days since its release on February 10, the North American box office closed at approximately US$55.64 million, and the cumulative global box office reached US$92.64 million.

The movie website Douban gave "Lego Batman" a score of 8.2. Browsing the comment section of this movie, you can see a cheerful message: "The Lego movie has its own characteristics. It is fun and sarcastic, and it is pleasant to watch it physically and mentally":"The laughter is dense and cute to burst":"Great! This is what popcorn cartoons should look like in the new era!"

Universal Pictures 'exclusive romance film "Fifty Shades Darker" topped the North American box office list with approximately US$46.8 million. The film lasts 115 minutes and costs US$55 million. The cumulative global box office has reached US$147 million.

As a companion piece to the 2015 controversial film of the year "Fifty Shades of Gray","Fifty Shades of Black" still seems to be unable to escape the fate of both word-of-mouth. At present, Douban's rating for "Fifty Shades of Black" is only 5.5 points. Some moviegoers use the popular Internet stalk to euphemistically complain: "Did I watch a fake love action movie?"

Lionsgate's action film "John Wick: Chapter Two", which was also released on February 10, won third place in the North American box office list for US$30.02 million. Douban scored 8.1 for the film. Some viewers lamented that the movie was "extremely enjoyable" and "after watching it, I won't have to watch action movies anymore this year."

Keanu Reeves, a 53-year-old American actor with one-eighth of China blood, was praised by the audience as "the best fighter, no one, a fighter among handsome guys." Compared with this veteran star, the film's director, 49-year-old Chad. Stahsky was slightly low-key. It can be seen from limited public reports that he used to be an action stunt double, and later he went from director assistant, deputy director to sole director to director to lead the guide to produce this applauded work, which can be said to be a counterattack all the way.

The top three on the list have dropped, and most of them are still old faces.

After three consecutive championships, the horror thriller "Split" now ranks fourth in the North American box office with $9.32 million, a drop of 35.4%. After a brief runner-up, the horror drama "Rings" slipped to seventh place on the new list with a drop of US$5.82 million, or 55.2%.

In addition, the drama drama "Hidden Figures" ranked fifth with $8 million, and the comedy drama drama "A Dog's Purpose&# 39;" ranked sixth with $7.37 million. Oscar-seeded "La La Land" ranked eighth with $5 million. No. 9 and No. 10 are the drama film Lion and the science fiction adventure drama film The Space Between Us respectively.

This upcoming weekend, Warner Bros. comedy "Fist Fight" and Fox's horror film "A Cure for Wellness" will be screened on February 17. The action film "The Great Wall" produced by Universal Pictures and directed by Zhang Yimou will also appear in more than 3200 theaters on the same day. This big production, with mixed reputation, has so far grossed US$225 million outside North America.
