Runner Stumbles: Box Office Woes Ahead
15 Sep
Summary
- Runner earned $6.5 million worldwide in its opening weekend.
- The film's budget is estimated between $35 million and $45 million.
- Runner needs to earn $87.5 million to $112.5 million to break even.
The action-comedy Runner, featuring Alan Ritchson and Owen Wilson, has had a subdued opening weekend at the box office, garnering less than $10 million globally. The film earned $6.46 million domestically, placing fourth in North American rankings and $35,000 internationally from New Zealand, resulting in a worldwide total of $6.5 million.
With an estimated production budget between $35 million and $45 million, Runner faces a considerable challenge to achieve profitability. Industry standards suggest the film must earn at least 2.5 times its budget to break even.
Consequently, Runner needs to gross between $87.5 million and $112.5 million worldwide. The film's success hinges on its international performance, as its current momentum suggests a difficult path to recouping costs.
The movie, released on September 11, follows a former soldier and his partner on a critical mission to deliver medical supplies while evading a cartel.
