BOX OFFICE: EDGE OF TOMORROW Earns $1.8 Million At Thursday Night Showings
Doug Liman's Edge of Tomorrow finally reached North America yesterday evening, and despite almost unanimously positive reviews, the sci-fi movie may only earn around $25 million this weekend.
Edge of Tomorrow has all the makings of a hit, but with The Fault In Our Stars poised to grab moviegoers attention this weekend, the $178 million budgeted movie looks set to debut in the $25 million range after earning $1.8 million at late Thursday night showings. However, that bests Tom Cruise's last sci-fi movie Oblivion, and some analysts believe that Edge of Tomorrow could earn as much as $35 million. It's simply too early to say at this point! However, since debuting overseas (where the Mission Impossible actor is a much bigger box office draw) in a handful of locations, the Doug Liman helmed movie has earned $33 million. Now, it looks set to also open in key territories including China, Russia, Australia, France and Mexico. Stay tuned for further updates!
