Box Office: Ryan Gosling’s ‘The Fall Guy’ Lands $10.4 Million Opening Day
Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt's stuntman romance 'The Fall Guy' is kicking off the summer box office on a muffled note.
It’s not a great result for Universal, which hasn’t succeeded in getting much traction out of Gosling’s red-hot post-“Barbie” media presence and a bunch of rave reviews for the action film out of a buzzy March premiere at SXSW Festival. With a $130 million production budget, the David Leitch-directed feature doesn’t carry the heavy financial expectations of the summer’s biggest tentpoles, but it’s still got a substantial number to recoup. And America stills loves Gungans and droids, with Disney’s 25th anniversary re-release of “Star Wars: Episode I — The Phantom Menace” looking at a third-place finish for the weekend after earning $2.4 million on Friday from 2,700 locations.
