It seems like the battle of David against Goliath, were it not that in reality today the real giants remain the cinecomics in the cinema. Or at least so it was thought before the sensational overtaking of The Batman with Robert Pattinson. Surprisingly, in fact the comedy The Lost City, arriving in Italian cinemas on 21 April, beat the Gotham City hero with a $ 31 million first weekend of overseas takings.
The daring romantic adventure with Channing Tatum and Sandra Bullock (which also includes Daniel Harry Potter Radcliffe) convinces and conquers. In short, lightness beats the dark side. Suffice it to say that in the United States not even Valentine’s Day had moved the public outside the home and so did the delightful comedy Marry Me with Jennifer Lopez he made his debut with 7.9 million gross.
There are those who are already talking about a reversal of the trend and see the box office figure as the real return to the theater, if we exclude the blockbusters (Spider-Man: No way home has shown that there is no crisis for this genre).
Wanting to make a comparison with other Sandra Bullock comedies like Criminal bodies And Blackmail of lovewhich had debuted with 39 and 34 million respectively in the pre-pandemic era, The Lost City it seems like a real miracle.
While the Oscar-winning actress doesn’t totally reject the idea of ​​a prequel, just a few days ago she said she was taking a break from showbusiness to devote herself to family.
The filmdirected by Aaron and Adam Nee, follows the bizarre story of a writer of romance novels, Loretta Sage (Sandra Bullock) and the model that appears on the covers of her books, Alan (Channing Tatum), which brings to life the protagonist of the stories, the heroic Dash. Although her tales are adventurous and linked to exotic scenarios, the author leads a rather private and solitary existence. And everything goes smoothly until the two find themselves on a promotional tour together and the villain on duty, who is played by Daniel Radcliffe and her name is Fairfax, she kidnaps Loretta. In reality this villain is a mad billionaire, convinced that the lady knows how to reach the lost city that holds a conspicuous treasure in the jungle. The man came to this belief because in one of her books, she tells about this scenario. The situation becomes complicated when Alan decides to save her and in this way demonstrate that he is not just a pretty face but that he embodies all the qualities of his literary alter ego in reality.
Just think that the trailer broke all records and that the images with Brad Pitt have sent fans in raptures.
