29 Sep
Summary
- Verity aims to surpass Masters of the Universe's domestic box office.
- Masters of the Universe earned $64.8 million domestically.
- Verity tracking $30-40 million opening weekend in North America.
The upcoming erotic thriller Verity, featuring Dakota Johnson and Anne Hathaway, is projected to surpass the domestic box office performance of Masters of the Universe. Masters of the Universe, a live-action adaptation of the He-Man franchise, debuted with $29.4 million in North America and concluded its run with a total of $64.8 million.
Verity, set for release on October 2, is tracking for an opening weekend between $30 million and $40 million in North America. This strong projection indicates it will likely exceed the total domestic gross of Masters of the Universe. The film centers on a struggling writer hired to complete a famous author's unfinished book series following an accident.
While working on the project, the writer uncovers a hidden manuscript that hints at dark secrets about the author's mental state and her life. The film's success is being closely watched, especially in comparison to the underperforming fantasy film.
Verity's potential success is attributed to its compelling cast and the positive buzz surrounding the erotic thriller genre. This positions it favorably to eclipse the box office total of the previous film.
