Overview
- Ryan Gosling’s sci‑fi drama opened to an estimated $80.5 million in the U.S. and $140.9 million worldwide during its debut weekend.
- IMAX and other large‑format showings generated about $27.6 million worldwide, helped by an A CinemaScore and a roughly 95% Rotten Tomatoes score.
- The launch beat pre‑release forecasts of $45 million to $65 million and set a new Amazon MGM opening record by topping Creed III’s $58 million start.
- With production costs reported near $200 million plus marketing, analysts say the film may need about $500 million worldwide to break even.
- The strong start for an original, non‑franchise title is prompting industry focus on Amazon MGM’s theatrical strategy and on how premium formats can lift word of mouth.
