A Big Bold Beautiful Journey Opens to $3.5 Million in U.S., $8 Million Worldwide

Weak reviews signal a steep path to recouping the reported $45–50 million cost for Sony’s original, mid-budget romance.

Overview

  • The film debuted with an estimated $3.5 million domestically and about $8 million worldwide for the opening weekend.
  • Thursday previews were reported at $400,000, contributing to a $1.4 million opening day and a sixth-place domestic finish.
  • Critics’ scores sit around 37–38% on Rotten Tomatoes, reflecting poor reviews that undercut early interest.
  • International markets added roughly $4.5 million, keeping the global launch modest relative to the reported $45–50 million production budget.
  • Industry tracking had already lowered expectations, with trade projections near $3 million, as Demon Slayer led the weekend and Him opened around $13.5 million.
