Despite being the most watched film in the United States of America, Stephanie Zacharek, from TIME Magazine, wrote a harsh review in relation to the new film in the saga, “in fact, it is just a tired repetition, albeit extravagant and this time with less appealing characters. As dystopias go, it’s a real bummer.”
Last Sunday the film grossed more than 6 million dollars.
NAPOLEON
“Napoleon” is in second place with 32 million dollars at the box office in just five days.
Wendy Ideof The Guardian, gave three stars out of five to Ridley Scott’s new film – “like Napoleon himself, the film is quite casual about the scale of the loss of life, failing to develop any of the characters of the infantrymen, mere cannon fodder in Bonaparte’s grand schemes. In fact, the only death that comes close to being regretted by Napoleon is that of the horse he receives with a cannonball in the chest.
With 2 million dollars less than “The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Birds and Serpents“, the film Ridley Scott “only” raised 4.51 million.
WISH: THE POWER OF WISHES
The new film from Disney“Wish: The Power of Wishes” closes the podium with 31 million dollars also in five days.

Together, Asha and Star face a formidable enemy – the ruler of Rosas, the Magnificent King – to save their community and prove that when the will of a brave human connects with the magic of the stars, wonderful things can happen.”
“Wish: The Power of Wishes” came in third place due to the minimal difference, around 10 thousand dollars below “Napoleon“.
