Overview
- Domestic ticket sales reached $21.3 million, the lowest opening of the trilogy after $29.3 million in 2013 and $22.3 million in 2016.
- The film earned $54.2 million internationally across 64 markets, led by China at about $19.2 million, with strong showings in South Korea, France and the U.K.
- The production budget is roughly $90 million, so sustained play in the U.S. and China will be pivotal as major holiday releases approach.
- Reception skews better with audiences than critics, with a B+ CinemaScore, a 59% Rotten Tomatoes score and PostTrak indicating 63% would recommend.
- Analysts credit Lionsgate’s influencer-driven campaign and social media fan edits for turnout—particularly among younger female moviegoers—and the director says a fourth film is in script development.
