Overview
- The film grossed $17 million domestically and $11.1 million overseas for roughly $28 million worldwide against a reported $110 million budget.
- It opened behind Now You See Me: Now You Don’t, which led the domestic weekend with $21.3 million.
- Reception was split, with Rotten Tomatoes listing 65% from critics and 79% from audiences.
- Coverage attributes the soft launch to tougher competition, unclear marketing and tone, limited word of mouth, and Paramount leadership changes affecting the rollout.
- Industry sources say the underperformance is a setback for Powell’s leading-man push rather than a derailment, as Edgar Wright’s Stephen King adaptation remains in theaters.
