The disappointing box office proves one thing about Jordan Bell

Jordan Bell got the respect of the masses all over the world. After spending years in the comic space, which is better known for a long time to show Sketch “Key & Pele”, it became unexpected, A promising voice in the horror space when the “exit” hit the theaters in 2017. Since then, it has been one of the most reliable voices in the area of ​​the type. Unfortunately for global images, there is a big difference between Bell as a director and producer. An example of this: “To him.”

It was directed by Justin Tipping, the horror of football was hit the box office during the weekend, with a disappointing $ 13.5 million. This was much lower than the box office expectations before the releaseAnd that made her approach $ 20 million, if not more. To make things much worse, the film has achieved a large amount abroad than 25 different markets. The only good news for Universal here is that “HIM” is proud of a very reasonable price of $ 27 million, before marketing. However, with almost no help from international markets, this film will face strongly to collapse even before Vod and flow.

The competition was a worker here. “Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle” holds first place with $ 17.3 million, despite a huge decline. “The Conjuring: Last Rites”, with a similar $ 12.3 million on the third weekend, which proves that it is a bridal of crowds after its record opening. Even “The Long Walk” was well held after a good but impressive openingHe brought 6.3 million dollars on its second framework. The important point is that gender lovers have options.

He focuses on Cameron Kadi (Terik Witzars), Qurtrbbeck, the rising star that was attacked by one of the violent fans and suffers from a brain injury in the brain. In response, his hero, legendary midfielder Isaia White (Marlon Wyanz), offers a cam training on an isolated complex sharing with his influential celebrity wife, Elsi White (Julia Fox). While he dives a deeper cam in his unconventional training, it falls on a much deeper rabbit hole (darker) than ever negotiated.

As a director, almost unparalleled in his ability to motivate both fans and critics about an original movie. “Exit” was a stunning huge blow with 260 million dollars All over the world for a small budget of $ 4.5 million. He also won an Oscar for the best original scenario and recorded the best photo nomination. When a follow -up movie The United States arrived in 2019 and achieved 256 million dollars All over the world, it became clear that Bell had real goods.

The Peele 2022 “NOPE” offer was more expensive, with a budget of $ 68 million, But it achieved the largest opening of the box office for an original movie ($ 44.3 million) At that time since the “United States” has first appeared three years ago. This means that Pele was competing against himself, as “both” at the end of $ 172 million worldwide. Another victory, without a question, especially now after it became quite clear how difficult it is to make people appear for the original films in the current market. To this end, led by Margot Ruby A “beautiful bold journey” fluctuated last weekend with the emergence of $ 3.5 million.

However, what we learn now is that the name Pele has absolutely attractive as a director, but it is much more limited when it is only productive. “Monkey Man” saved from Dev Patel for only $ 10 million from NetflixBut it made only 35 million dollars throughout the world last year. This was not a flip, but it was not a big blow. Meanwhile, Bell’s “Candyman” achieved well in 2021, with $ 77 million worldwide for a budget of $ 25 million. Likewise, BlackKlansman returned for the year 2018 in the 2018 world for $ 93 million for a budget of $ 15 million, which was a great result. However, this seems to be the ceiling for films that involve Bell as a producer at the present time. The floor becomes too low, as it is clear from “Honk for Jesus in 2022. Save your soul”, achieving a total of $ 2.5 million.

He suffered from terrible reviews, but because Bell’s name was on the poster, he did not flounder locally. The presence of his attached name to a project can be very useful, but it is not equally like the masses as it is in the director’s chair. This is clear.

“He” is playing now in theaters.
