Robin Hood's Box Office: A $2.9M Disappointment
23 Jun
Summary
- The film earned $2.9 million domestically in its opening weekend.
- It faces a significant challenge to break even on its $20 million budget.
- The movie was overshadowed by the strong performance of 'Toy Story 5'.
The film 'The Death of Robin Hood,' featuring Hugh Jackman, experienced a notably weak opening weekend at the North American box office, grossing only $2.9 million. This performance ranks among the lowest debuts of Jackman's career and falls far short of expectations, especially when contrasted with other recent releases.
Globally, the film's performance was equally subdued, with international earnings amounting to a mere $45,000, bringing the total worldwide collection to $2.9 million. With a production budget of $20 million, the film faces a steep uphill battle to recoup its costs and achieve profitability, as per the industry's standard 2.5x rule.
The movie, directed by Michael Sarnoski and released on June 19, aims to present a mature take on the legendary outlaw. It explores Robin Hood's struggle with his past following a lifetime of crime and a near-fatal battle. The ensemble cast includes Jodie Comer, Bill Skarsgård, Murray Bartlett, and Noah Jupe.
