Glen Powell's 'Killing' Falters at Box Office

Summary
- How to Make a Killing has grossed $6.2 million against its $15 million budget.

- Audience ratings are strong at 77%, but critical reviews are mixed at 46%.
Glen Powell's new comedic crime thriller, How to Make a Killing, has faced significant challenges at the North American box office. The film, distributed by A24 and directed by John Patton Ford, has so far garnered approximately $6.2 million worldwide against its substantial $15 million production budget. Most of this revenue stems from North American ticket sales, with minimal international earnings reported.
The movie's initial weekend brought in $3.4 million from 1,625 theaters. However, in its second weekend, despite expanding to 1,726 theaters, earnings plummeted to $1.5 million, marking a 55.2% decline. This performance places it in a difficult position, especially with strong competition from other releases.
Compounding the box office struggles, the film has received a mixed critical reception, with an average rating of 46% from 133 reviews. Conversely, audience response is more favorable, with a 77% approval rating from over 250 verified ratings. Reaching its break-even point of an estimated $37.5 million appears improbable given the current trajectory.
