Starting from March, 2020 decisively put the usual life of artists and ordinary spectators paused: instead of red tracks and brilliant images - plus ten kilos of excess weight, instead of spectacular blockbusters in cinemas - looking at the wallpaper on quarantine, in exchange for prestigious premiums - home learning children Under the accompaniment of screams and cough. It was at that on December 31, the president will especially sincerely congratulate us with the experienced year, while until this point remains for another month we offer readers to sum up and choose celebrities and events that struck everyone in these difficult months. After all, a pandemic of a pandemic, and the show should continue - and start, perhaps, standing with those who have been heroically for us throughout the year.
"Argument"
The long-awaited new film Christopher Nolana was to "open" the blockbuster season, in fact earned the "total" 360 million dollars in the world (a very modest amount for Nolana films, which for the last 12 years took the "bar" at least half a billion, and then and billion). But the "argument" presented us with Robert Pattinson as a full-fledged action hero (excellent warm-up in front of Batman) and a lot of reasons to discuss, what I generally wanted to tell his creator in the film."Gentlemen"
Another film from the famous director who showed extremely unsatisfactory results at the box office - but at the end of the year, became one of the most popular in the category "Watch online". Guy Richie gathered in his criminal "cocktail" a brilliant star caste in the face of Matthew McConaja, Charlie Hannema, Colin Farrell, Hugh Grant and won the love of viewers who recognized "gentlemen" one of the best films director in principle.
"Mulan"
From the very beginning, "Mulan" systematically did not take place: then the film disney was criticized for the decision to remove the dragon Musha and Lee Shang, they called on the boycott because of the political position of the main actress, then the pandemic was dried at all, and the premiere was detained indefinitely. As a result, "Mulan" came out simultaneously in the cinemas and on the cutting service Disney +, gathered another portion of criticism (this time - for the fact that part of the filming was held in the province of Xinjiang, where Muslim minority genocide are suspected) and the grandiose failed at the box office $ 66 million"Predator birds"
2020 became the first for many years the year in which Marvel did not release any of his kinineomix (failed "new mutants", to the MCU universe not related, we will make a modestly for brackets) - but the competing DC still decided to risk and show the prickly filmmix with Feminist bias, star castle and very long name. True, Birds of Prey: And The Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn quickly reduced to the modest Birds of Prey, when it turned out that the film was rapidly falling at the box office - but even it did not help. As a result, his production budget "birds", headed by Margo Robbie, was still "beat" (84 million dollars spent on the shooting), marketing costs are no longer there, and in the global boxes, the kinokomiks fell with a crash.
"Bad guys forever"
The nostalgic return of the duet of the "bad guys" in the face of Will Smith and Martin Lawrence showed that sometimes it was not even a sequel, but also tricks could be better (or at least commercially successful) of the original. "Bad guys forever" conquered the audience (96% rating at the Rotten Tomatoes), worked well in the box office ($ 426 million) and left the storyline on the fourth part - after a pandemic, we still hear about Tandem Smith-Lawrence, because work on the next film officially Started in January of this year.Honorary mention not included in the final five:
"Amazing journey of Dr. Dulittla"
The first after the "Avengers: Final" Robert Downey Junior film was waiting with great interest - for nothing, "Dulittl" differs from the "Avengers" a little less than completely. The expectations were not justified: even critics recognized that the family adventure film was frankly weak and passing: "A terrible scenario, a terrible visual, a boring plot, for 101 minutes we have patience of viewers." At the Rotten Tomatoes, Dulittla rating is only 13% - one of the worst indicators for the entire Dauni career, worse than the assessment only in the couple of his films from the distant 80s / 90s.
"Tyler Rake: Salvation Operation"
Downey Colleague in the "Avengers" Chris Hemsworth was lucky much more: a strong fighter "Tyler Rake", filmed by Netflix, managed to gain popularity in the audience, despite the generally a simple story. Moreover: according to the results of the year, Tyler Reik turned out to be the most popular Netflix tape in the action films category, and Chris Hemsworth trains Mightwall, preparing for the shooting of Sicvel - it is planned for exit in 2021.
"Forward"
Downey Jr. for the start of the post-Avengers era chose a family cinema, Chris Hemsworth - a fighter, and two more stars of the superhero team, Tom Holland and Chris Prett, together worked on the creation of the cartoon "Forward" from Disney / Pixar. In the hire a cartoon failed, having gathered, despite the star voices, only $ 140 million - but then went to the Disney + Stringing Service, where it turned out to be one of the most popular release releases.
"Immortal Guard"
One of the most popular NetFlix projects of this year - the Stringing giant continues to hold the course for inclusiveness and support of minorities, which once again demonstrated in the "immortal guard". Potentially promising plot about immortal mercenaries and intriguing caste with Charlize Theron "reinforced" the presence of a pair in the plot and female director - in the director's chair. The sum of all currently current terms of Netflix did not fail: "The Immortal Guard" only in the first month on the air looked at 78 million users.
