Blade Runner 2049 Didn’t Reach Box Office Expectations | Daily Celebrity News | Splash TV
You’d think making 31.5 million dollars
over a few days would be a success, right? Well, not if you’re the new Blade Runner
2049. The film, which has been praised by fans and
critics alike, didn’t reach box office expectations during its opening weekend and some are now
calling into question whether it can reach the heights it set out to reach.
Many believed that the Harrison Ford and Ryan
Gosling movie would fetch around 45 to 50 million dollars but it only made 4 million
from Thursday night previews, 12.7 million on Friday, and only 11.4 on Saturday, and
7.4 on Sunday. Some are pointing to its 163 minute running
time… which limits the number of showings it can have per day. Other are suggesting a lesser interest amongst
females made it a tough sell. Either way, it still won the weekend and can
probably expect a few more good weeks before it closes its run..
