Drive, Nicolas Winding Refn’s R-rated excursion into the territory of the crime in Los Angeles, has had most of the muscles between the films of first-year students.

While the king was scheduled to play in theaters for only two weeks to prepare the ground for the BluRay release, the interesting question is whether it could now be in theaters longer. We have not had that conversation, but it’s the first thing we will discuss tomorrow, once we have received responses from exposure, said Hollis. Although I think we will change the text in the ads for two weeks of activity to a limited commitment.

Meanwhile, the king has already posted a series of new statistics in the record books: the first edition to open at number one in 14 years: The last time that happened was the back of the Jedi – Special Edition in 1997.

Coming after a series of films in which the spectators away from the 3D option, the king reversed this trend. While the study did not have a breakdown of the number of 3D screens in 2D, against which the film was finally played, it indicates that 92 % of the business from the sale of tickets toon in 3D.

Of course our expectations were exceeded, said Dave Hollis, executive vice president of Disney theatrical distribution. We must return to the idea of ​​a circle of life. Adolescents who have seen two years ago and are now the parents brought their children. And ‘was an opportunity to see the film in a way that had never seen before. It is a bit’ the perfect storm.

Disney had designed a theatrical family, and even 74 % of the audience were families.

As the weekend began, Disney had modest expectations for the king. The new edition aims to promote a new edition of shops BluRay success of the film on October 4, it was expected to raise about $ 12 to 13,000,000. But led by a strong desire to see an audience of families, and without direct competition from other titles for children, the film, directed by Roger Allers and Rob Minkoff, once again captured the imagination of viewers, because it took more of 2330 rooms with a mixture of 2D and 3D display.

Disney also claimed fourth place for the weekend with the historical drama with DreamWorks. In its sixth weekend of release, the film dropped only 28 %, bringing another $ 6.4 million, which led the GDP to 147.4 million
