MOTU Box Office Eyes Tepid Global Start as Budget Pressure Looms
Despite decent critic reception (about 74% on Rotten Tomatoes), Amazon MGM and Sony’s Masters of the Universe reboot is tracking a tepid opening, with a domestic around $30M and a likely worldwide total under $50M—well short of its $170–$200M budget. Broad audiences appear cautious about a 30-year-old property, and the weekend’s top spots are expected to go to Scary Movie and Backrooms, with MOTU hoping for strong word-of-mouth to sustain it beyond opening. The film also debuted in some markets, including the UK at #3, but overall momentum remains uncertain.
