- Primate film grossed $30.5 million worldwide against a $21 million budget.
- The movie is approximately $22 million short of its $52.5 million break-even goal.

Paramount's natural horror film, Primate, has experienced an underwhelming theatrical release in early 2026. The movie, produced with a budget of approximately $21 million, has garnered $30.5 million globally. This performance leaves it substantially below the estimated break-even point of $52.5 million, with a deficit of roughly $22 million.
In its initial weeks, Primate earned $23.5 million domestically and $7 million internationally. However, its momentum faltered significantly, evident in an 8,119 theater reduction during its third weekend. Last weekend's earnings dropped to $1.5 million, a steep 69.1% decrease from the previous week. The film's outcome appears sealed as its theatrical run concludes.
