Amazon MGM’s Masters of the Universe opened at number two with 29.3 million dollars, a soft debut for the 200-million-dollar action film. The sword-and-planet adventure underperformed expectations despite strong marketing and franchise recognition.
The film starred Nicholas Galitzine as Prince Adam alongside Camila Mendes, Alison Brie, Idris Elba, and Jared Leto. Production design emphasized live-action adaptation of toy property’s aesthetics.
Second weekend proved challenging with 70 percent decline, finishing fifth with 8.6 million dollars. The sharp drop indicated weak word-of-mouth and limited audience enthusiasm for the property beyond nostalgia.
Industry observers attributed disappointing performance to crowded June marketplace and audience skepticism toward toy franchise adaptations. The film faced direct competition from Scary Movie‘s unexpected success.
Box office trajectory suggested Masters of the Universe would struggle to recoup theatrical costs before streaming release. Amazon Studios faced questions about future toy property adaptations.
