Overview
- The Stephen King re-adaptation fell 74.6% Friday-to-Friday to $1.6 million, bringing totals to about $22.9 million domestic and $34.1 million worldwide, including roughly $11.2 million from international markets.
- Wicked: For Good stormed the marketplace and squeezed The Running Man’s audience share and screen availability, according to box office tallies.
- Despite the drop, the film edged past Roofman’s $22.7 million domestic finish and is creeping toward the year’s top-60 list in North America.
- Trade coverage indicates it could overtake the 1987 Schwarzenegger film’s $38 million global total, with some outlets suggesting it may also pass The Shining’s unadjusted $46 million, though those thresholds are not yet reached.
- Reviews hover in the mid‑60s on Rotten Tomatoes as fan reactions skew enthusiastic, and Stephen King’s public praise and Wright’s closer-to-the-book approach remain key talking points.
