Amazon Bets on a He-Man Sequel, Putting Prime Video Front and Center

Although Masters of the Universe underperformed at the box office, Amazon MGM Studios treats the film as a long-term bet, planning a sequel and leaning on Prime Video to grow the franchise, expand awareness to new fans, and drive toy sales; the company even skipped France’s theatrical run to premiere on Prime Video, signaling a streaming-first strategy that supports broader tentpole goals.

He-Man Movie Slumps in Weekend Two, Poised to Be One of Box Office's Biggest Bombs

Masters of the Universe fell 71% in its domestic second weekend, taking in about $8.6M to lift the domestic total to around $45.7M and worldwide to just over $70M. With production costs near $200M and marketing pushing the total higher, analysts say the film is tracking toward a major box‑office loss, especially since the audience skew appears older and international totals aren’t offsetting the domestic decline. Weak word of mouth and strong competition leave little room for recovery, making profitability unlikely unless overseas or long‑tail performance improves dramatically.

Disclosure Day Roars to No. 1 as Masters of the Universe Stumbles

Steven Spielberg’s Disclosure Day opened No. 1 with $44 million at 3,824 theaters, topping estimates and kicking off a roughly $93 million global start (about $48.9 million overseas) as the film, produced for about $115 million with an $80 million marketing spend, eyes a breakeven near $300 million worldwide. In contrast, Masters of the Universe plunged about 71% in its second weekend to $8.6 million, underscoring weak turnout for the $200 million adventure, while Obsession held solid with $19 million in its fifth weekend to stay in second and Backrooms added $12 million in its third weekend. The overall summer box office is modestly ahead of last year but trails 2019’s pre-pandemic pace.

X-Men ’97 Shows You Can’t Build a Franchise on Nostalgia Alone

The Verge argues that both X-Men ’97 Season 2 and Masters of the Universe are nostalgia plays, but X-Men ’97 succeeds by expanding its world and reworking canon to stay fresh, while Masters of the Universe struggles with waning cultural prominence and a underperforming film; the piece suggests lasting franchise health requires more than fan service, as Marvel’s ongoing reinvigoration hints at a stronger long‑term strategy.

Why the He-Man Movie Missed the Box Office Mark

Amazon and director Travis Knight’s live-action Masters of the Universe opened weakly against stiff summer competition (Scary Movie and Backrooms) and faced a gargantuan budget (~$170M) with lukewarm buzz and mixed reviews. Controversies around Jared Leto and limited promotion didn’t help, leaving theaters crowded with other hits while audiences largely waited for streaming on Prime Video. The result is a likely streaming-first strategy rather than theatrical success, underscoring a mis-timed nostalgia push in a market shifting toward different tastes.

Amazon Frames Soft Opening of Masters of the Universe as Strategic Win

Masters of the Universe opened to about $29 million in the U.S. and roughly $25 million overseas (around $54 million globally), a tepid debut by box-office standards. Amazon MGM executives framed the result as validating a broader distribution strategy focused on building awareness and engagement that can pay off beyond the theatrical window, including potential merchandising, licensing, streaming subscribes, and future sequels.
