The Fall Guy, an action-comedy starring Emily Blunt and Ryan Gosling, has kicked off the summer movie season following its official debut in theaters two months ago. However, the box office numbers for The Fall Guy fell short of the initial estimates. Despite premiering in March and continuing into May, the David Leitch-directed film did not perform as well as expected.
The Fall Guy‘s Box Office Performance
The Fall Guy earned 28.5 million from 4,002 North American theaters during its debut, missing expected projections. Over the weekend, it was anticipated to make between $30 million and $40 million, but this didn’t materialize. With production costs reaching $40 million, the movie is facing financial trouble.
On a good note, The Fall Guy managed to make a slight comeback at the box office. On May 3, it collected an estimated $10.49 million domestically. This was followed by an additional $10.25 million on May 4 and $7.76 million on May 5 across theaters in North America. This performance showed some improvement and helped the movie recoup some of its losses, proving to be a positive turn of events.
Make It Or Break It
it’s fantastic to hear that The Fall Guy sequel has resonated so well with audiences, receiving positive feedback and high ratings. Needless to say, the movie’s A-rating on CinemaScore and 83% score on Rotten Tomatoes is a certainly impressive accolade for the film.
The glowing reviews and audience reception have not gone unnoticed, with the film’s performance leading the production team to feel incredibly proud. Jim Orr, the president of domestic distribution for Universal Pictures, expressed that sentiment, indicating a strong belief in the movie’s ability to captivate and entertain audiences. With such praise and recognition, It seems like The Fall Guy has certainly made quite an impact and is poised for a successful run at the box office.
