The Fall Guy Box Office Hits Below Expectation Despite Positive Reviews

Summary Gosling and Blunt shine in The Fall Guy, but disappointing box office results show the movie's struggle to find its audience.

Despite positive reviews, The Fall Guy falls short of box office expectations with an opening weekend earning less than projected.

Directed by David Leitch, The Fall Guy's $130-$150 million budget may make its disappointing $28 million opening weekend even more concerning.

Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt are taking a fall, thanks to The Fall Guy's disappointing box office results. Gosling plays Colt Seavers, a stuntman who suffered a career-ending injury. After attempting to return to the industry, Colt quickly learns that there is a conspiracy afoot, and he needs to discover the truth behind a mysterious murder. Blunt plays director Jody Moreno. The Fall Guy was directed by Bullet Train director David Leitch.

Despite The Fall Guy's positive reviews, it has not been as successful as Gosling might have hoped. According to a report by Deadline, The Fall Guy will only earn $28 million in its opening weekend. The movie was projected to earn $30 million, which makes this opening disappointing. The total is especially worrying, given that the budget was approximately $130 million to $150 million.
