Margot Robbie's Latest Film Plummets 93% in Theaters, Earns Just $20M Worldwide
16 Oct
Summary
- Margot Robbie's new film, A Big Bold Beautiful Journey, earned only $20M globally
- The film experienced a 93% drop in its third domestic weekend
- Despite the talent involved, the movie failed to find success with critics and audiences
In October 2025, Margot Robbie returned to theaters with her new film, A Big Bold Beautiful Journey, which many had expected to replicate the success of her previous blockbuster, Barbie. However, the movie turned out to be one of Sony's biggest disappointments of the year.
Intended to be a sweeping high-concept drama, A Big Bold Beautiful Journey arrived just a few months after another ambitious Sony project, Here, which had also failed to find success at the box office. Despite the talent involved, including Robbie and Colin Farrell, the film ended its run with only $20 million in global earnings, far short of its reported $50 million budget.
The domestic numbers for A Big Bold Beautiful Journey collapsed quickly, as in its third week, the film lost 93% of its theater count, dropping from over 3,300 screens to just 609. Its third weekend brought in a mere $74,000, one of the steepest declines ever for a wide release. The movie, directed by Kogonada, also failed to impress critics, scoring only 37% on Rotten Tomatoes, though the audience rating was slightly higher at 59%.

For Sony, this felt like history repeating itself, as the studio had already faced disappointment with Here, another $50 million project that reunited the Forrest Gump team and managed just $16 million worldwide. Compared to that, A Big Bold Beautiful Journey did slightly better, though not by much. Meanwhile, Robbie is now turning her attention to Wuthering Heights, a romance film co-starring Jacob Elordi, scheduled for release in February 2026.
