"Now You See Me 3" Pulls Off Box Office Magic, Outperforms Rivals
16 Nov
Summary
- "Now You See Me 3" earns $75.5 million globally in its opening weekend
- "The Running Man" disappoints with $17 million debut, despite $110 million budget
- "Predator: Badlands" continues strong run, earning $66.3 million domestically
In a weekend filled with high-profile releases, the third "Now You See Me" film emerged as the clear winner, earning $75.5 million globally. The illusionist adventure, which cost Lionsgate $90 million to produce, marks a significant turnaround for the studio, which has struggled to deliver hits in recent months.
The film's success comes at the expense of "The Running Man," a big-budget action thriller that paired Glen Powell with cult favorite filmmaker Edgar Wright. Despite a $110 million production budget, "The Running Man" managed only a second-place finish with a lackluster $17 million debut. This stumble is a setback for Powell, who had been building a following with hits like "Top Gun: Maverick" and "Twisters."
Elsewhere, the "Predator: Badlands" reboot continued its strong run, adding $13 million to its domestic haul of $66.3 million. The film, which cost $105 million to produce, is the second attempt at adapting Stephen King's dystopian novel, following the 1987 Arnold Schwarzenegger classic.
