Stone's Bugonia Fights for Box Office Life
18 Nov
Summary
- Bugonia earned over $30 million globally on a $45-55 million budget.
- The film lost 790 theaters in its last weekend, decreasing screens.
- Bugonia's current trend suggests a disappointing box office finish.
Bugonia, starring Emma Stone, has surpassed $30 million globally, positioning itself as Yorgos Lanthimos' third highest-grossing film. Despite a budget ranging from $45 million to $55 million, the movie's financial performance has been challenged. The film, which initially opened in over 2,000 U.S. theaters, recently saw a significant reduction, losing 790 screens in a single weekend, impacting its momentum.
Recent weekend earnings show a decline, with the fourth weekend bringing in just over $1.4 million, a 53% drop from the previous week. Daily earnings on Friday and through the weekend indicated a lack of strong upward movement needed to approach its budget recoupment. Currently playing in approximately 1,253 theaters domestically and with limited international reach, the film's overall box office run appears poised for an unfavorable conclusion.
Even with star power, positive reviews, and a clear narrative, Bugonia has struggled to connect with audiences sufficiently. It has, however, managed to outperform other significant releases like Him, which also faced box office challenges. The mixed box office results for both films reflect an uneven audience engagement throughout the year.
