Summary The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare experiences a drastic 70% drop at the box office in its second weekend.

The movie is still a financial success for Lionsgate due to its international release going directly to streaming.

The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare has taken a huge drop at the box office in its second weekend. The new Guy Ritchie movie, which stars Henry Cavill, Eiza González, Alan Ritchson, Alex Pettyfer, Hero Fiennes Tiffin, Henry Golding, and Cary Elwes, has a reported budget of $60 million and opened with $8.9 million at the domestic box office. However, the movie is already being considered a financial success at Lionsgate because its only theatrical release is in North America, with the international release going directly to streaming, a factor alters the overall benchmark for its box office success considerably.

Per Deadline, the Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare release has already fallen out of the Top 5 at the domestic box office in its second weekend, landing at No. 6 with a 3-day total of $3.86 million. It is not uncommon for movies to drop between 40% and 60% after their opening weekends, but this total marks a staggering 70% drop for the Henry Cavill movie. This drop has come despite a relatively quiet weekend where its biggest competition was the pair of new release dramas Challengers and Unsung Hero, neither of which were targeting the same demographic.
