Thursday Night Previews: Wild has a Tame Debut
February 21, 2020
The Call of the Wild earned $1 million on Thursday, which is better than expected. Granted, it is nowhere near the $3 million Sonic the Hedgehog earned last Thursday, but if The Call of the Wild can open with a third as much as Sonic the Hedgehog did last weekend, then it will beat expectations, but won’t come close to what it needs to earn to break even. Its reviews are about the same as Sonic’s reviews, but this film has a much smaller Fanboy Effect, so it should have better legs. We will have to wait till tomorrow to tell if that is true.
Brahms: The Boy II managed $375,000 on Thursday, which is worse than both Gretel and Hansel and The Turning, and neither of those films were box office hits. Additionally, its reviews are among the worst of the year so far and this will undoubtedly hurt its legs. It’s low budget is its only saving grace.
