Overview
- Disney’s sci‑fi threequel opened No. 1 in North America with an estimated $33.5 million, below projections that called for $40 million to $50 million.
- Worldwide ticket sales reached roughly $60–60.5 million through Sunday, including about $27 million overseas, with China opening next weekend.
- The reported production budget is about $180 million, raising the break‑even bar after a $14.3 million Friday that included previews.
- Reception indicators show a split, with critics in the mid‑50s on Rotten Tomatoes, audiences in the mid‑80s, and a B+ CinemaScore, leaving box‑office legs uncertain.
- The film includes a mid‑credits setup for a possible continuation, and the director says any sequel depends on audience turnout and financial performance.
