Sisu Sequel's Box Office Blues
28 Nov
Summary
- Sisu: Road to Revenge grossed $3.1 million domestically so far.
- The film's $12 million budget makes a global total of $6.2 million worrying.
- The sequel failed to match the success of the first Sisu film.
The action sequel Sisu: Road to Revenge has seen a subdued performance in the United States, barely breaking into the top 150 domestic earners of the year. After its release on November 21, the movie has accumulated approximately $3.1 million from around 2,222 theaters over six days. This figure is particularly concerning given the film's production budget of $12 million.
Globally, the film has reached $6.2 million, a figure that raises significant doubts about its ability to recoup its investment. The opening weekend brought in $2.4 million, but subsequent weekdays showed minimal gains, with daily earnings hovering around $190K to $285K. Projections suggest the sequel is heading towards a similar box office fate as other low-budget films that failed to find an audience.
In contrast, the original Sisu, released with a $6 million budget, proved to be a surprise hit, grossing over $14 million worldwide despite a smaller theatrical release. Sisu: Road to Revenge has struggled to replicate this success, indicating a significant underperformance and a failure to capture audience interest.
