The Smashing Machine’ Edges to $18 Million Worldwide as Box Office Slide Deepens

Strong reviews have not translated to turnout, reflecting a commercial disappointment despite a wide rollout.

Overview

  • As of Oct. 19, the film has earned about $18 million globally, including roughly $10.9 million in North America and $7.1 million internationally, per Box Office Mojo data cited in new reports.
  • Daily grosses have fallen sharply, with a reported sub-$150,000 take on Thursday and a $44 per-theater average as exhibitors reduce showtimes.
  • After opening wide on Oct. 3 in more than 3,000 theaters, the movie continues to trail expectations despite critical praise and festival attention.
  • The total is nearing the $18.6 million lifetime haul of Robert De Niro’s The Fan and sits within about $100,000 of Park Chan-wook’s No Other Choice, according to box office trackers.
  • A PVOD debut on Nov. 4 is being reported by When to Stream but has not been confirmed by A24, with digital purchase listings appearing at $24.99 and expected rentals around $19.99.
