Box Office Already Hits Record Low, Bad Year Ahead?

Sadly for Vaughn, Cavill, and audiences wanting good films, that wasn’t the case: after a disappointing opening weekend last weekend where it earned $18 million (against a $200 million budget), Argyll’s box office is down 62 percent this weekend. The more female-friendly counterprogramming film Lisa Frankenstein has also performed below expectations. Despite being written by Oscar winner Diablo Cody and aiming for the same audience as the 2019 film Booksmart, Lisa Frankenstein earned only $4 million during its three-day debut, which is notably less than the $6.9 million Booksmart earned despite showing in fewer theaters (2,505 compared to Lisa Frankenstein’s 3,143).
