Masters of the Universe posts $11.75M Friday, $30M weekend projected

Masters of the Universe opened with an estimated $11.75M Friday and is tracking toward a near $30M domestic opening weekend as the reboot hits theaters. Fans are producing a surge of artwork, comics, animatics, edits, and cosplay centered on Adam/He-Man, Jared Leto’s Skeletor, and Battlecat. Creators reimagine key action beats and character introductions across chibi illustrations, fully rendered key art, short animatics, and live-action costume posts while many pieces lean into nostalgia for the Filmation series and the 1987 film.
