Masters of the Universe brings back the 80s superhero He-Man to the massive screen, and fans were enthusiastic about witnessing it. Nevertheless, it has been received with mixed word of mouth. The Nicholas Galitzine starrer movie has opened with decent numbers on the North American box office on Friday, at one in every of the highest 3 spots within the rankings. It’s awaiting a good debut this weekend. Keep scrolling for the deets.
How much has the film collected on its opening day on the box office in North America?
The film debuted at #2 within the domestic box office rankings, losing the #1 spot to Scary Movie 6. It collected a solid $11.8 million on its Friday opening day, including $4.4 million from previews [via Box Office Mojo]. It’s greater than Free Guy’s $10.4 million, The Fall Guy‘s $10.5 million, and The Lost City’s $11.5 million. Nevertheless, it’s below Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire‘s $16.1 million and Ghostbusters: Afterlife’s $16.7 million opening day collection.
Nicholas Galitzine had one other release last month, The Sheep Detectives, which can be by Amazon MGM and continues to be running within the theaters. Masters of the Universe’s opening day collection is considerably greater than The Sheep Detectives’ $4 million gross on the North American box office [via Box Office Mojo]. Subsequently, it’s the most important day of the 12 months for Nicholas, and it will even be his biggest debut thus far.
How much is the film tracking to earn on its opening weekend?
In line with initial tracking, the film was expected to earn between $30 million and $35 million on its opening weekend on the North American box office. It seems the mixed word of mouth will hamper the film’s debut weekend, because it is now tracking to earn between $26 million and $31 million in North America. It is going to also impact the film’s overall box office run, and because it reportedly has a $200 million budget, things will get tough for it.
What’s the film about?
The film follows Prince Adam as he returns to his home planet, Eternia, to take his destiny as He-Man and save his home from the evil forces of Skeletor. Masters of the Universe was released within the theaters on June 5.
