Cavill, Gyllenhaal's 'In The Grey' Faces Box Office Hurdles
21 Apr
Summary
- In The Grey is projected to earn $4 million to $7 million on opening weekend.
- The film faces stiff competition from anticipated releases like Michael and The Devil Wears Prada 2.
- The plot involves extraction specialists and a negotiator on a high-stakes retrieval mission.
Henry Cavill and Jake Gyllenhaal are set to star together in Guy Ritchie's action thriller, In The Grey, releasing on May 15th. Despite the star power, early long-range box office projections from Box Office Pro suggest a modest domestic opening weekend, with an estimated earning of $4 million to $7 million in North America. This forecast is below the opening weekend performance of Ritchie's previous films, Wrath of Man and The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare.
The film's plot follows two extraction specialists and a seasoned negotiator tasked with retrieving a stolen fortune as part of a covert operation. However, their plan quickly unravels, leading them into a dangerous game of survival and deception. With limited pre-release buzz and major films like Michael and The Devil Wears Prada 2 arriving beforehand, In The Grey will need to perform exceptionally well to capture audience attention.
These initial box office figures are preliminary and subject to change. The film also features Eiza González, Kristofer Hivju, Fisher Stevens, and Rosamund Pike. This marks the third collaboration between director Guy Ritchie and Henry Cavill.
