In a surprising box office weekend, Disney's Lilo & Stitch maintained its lead while the John Wick spinoff, Ballerina, underwhelmed with a $25 million opening. Originally expected to earn $35 to $40 million, the film, directed by Len Wiseman and starring Ana de Armas, struggled despite positive reviews. Its international earnings brought its global total to $51 million, yet it recorded the second lowest opening in the franchise's history. Analysts suggest that Ballerina could still perform well in the long term as it distinguishes itself from typical franchise openings and reflects changing audience dynamics.
Ballerina earned $25 million from 3,409 theaters in the U.S. and Canada, lower than expectations of $35 to $40 million, despite good reviews.
Ballerina could be in the game for the long haul, with its opening not reflecting potential long-term success due to good reviews and audience reception.
The global opening total for Ballerina reached $51 million, indicating strong international interest despite being the second lowest opening of the franchise.
This film is playing as a true original and is not expected to open like a Mission: Impossible, reflecting the changing box office dynamics.
