Masters of the Universe posts $11.75M Friday, $30M weekend projected
Masters of the Universe earned an estimated $11.75 million on its opening Friday in North America, including previews. The He-Man reboot, with Jared Leto as Skeletor, is playing in 3,677 theaters and is tracking near a $30.12 million three-day domestic weekend. Amazon MGM Studios released the film, and an 88% audience score from over 1,000 verified ratings gives it stronger word-of-mouth that will influence sequel decisions and the film's streaming-window timing.
And this gross crap is supposed to do better than Masters of the Universe at the box office? Really? Honestly, screw you all!
I remember watching Scary Movie 1 in theatre waaay back when it I usually released. It was the first time I ever regretted spending money on a ticket and found myself impatient for a movie to end. Battlefield Earth got a lot more laughs and entertainment, and it wasn't trying to be a comedy!
I love the idea of a lynch mob being funny! Especially when it's minority writers / directors shitting on a more vulnerable minority!
So a movie that is about being a good person and that empathy is just as important as strength is expected to lose against a "comedy" that thinks murdering nonbinary people is funny.
