How Did The Fall Guy Fare In Theaters?
The David Leitch Film Wasn’t A Box Office Hit
For the most part, critics enjoyed Leitch’s ode to old school action movies and stunt performers. The film currently enjoys a respectable 82% onRotten Tomatoes, with reviews praising the film’s mix of action, romance, and comedy, and the charismatic lead performances fromThe Fall Guy’s cast, especially Gosling and Blunt. In general, the movie was widely praised for just how fun it was, even if it doesn’t break any notable new ground.
Leitch co-directed the firstJohn Wick, and is now also widely known for directingDeadpool 2, Atomic Blonde, andBullet Train.
The Fall Guy’s audience score on Rotten Tomatoes is 86%, suggesting general movie-goers found plenty to enjoy with the film, but that doesn’t mean there was a great turnout at theaters. Made on an estimated production budget of $130 million,the film ended its theatrical run with only $178 million worldwide. Using the standard Hollywood rule of thumb,The Fall Guywas probably looking at a break even point of roughly $325 million, making it a fairly major disappointment.
The Fall Guyseems destined to remain a popular watch on VOD and streaming for years to come, with Gosling and Blunt’s charisma and the film’s light tone sure to attract viewers at home. The film’s box office failure, however, essentially suggests that the budget was just too large for this type of film in today’s theatrical landscape. While key creatives involved have expressed interest in making a sequel toThe Fall Guy, it’s not looking likely that one will happen.
