The Ryan Gosling- Emily Blunt action comedy The Fall Guy was released in theatres on Friday. Ryan stars as stuntman Colt Seavers in the film, directed by David Leitch. It seems that Ryan’s decision to trade his fur coat for a stunt harnesses didn’t sit well with fans in India, as the film had a lacklustre start at the box office.
Ryan’s previous film, Barbie, captured the audience’s interest and performed exceptionally well at the box office. The film collected Rs 5 crore on the opening day in India. The Greta Gerwig directorial minted Rs 43.80 crore over the course of its theatrical run. Globally, it grossed over $1.4 billion.
The Fall Guy Takes Poor Start At Box Office
The Fall Guy, directed by David Leitch and starring Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt among others, took a slow start at the box office as it netted around Rs 45 lakhs in India. Not that the film was expected to take a thunderous start but Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt are said to be two quite saleable actors and based on that, The Fall Guy had to open bigger. Yes, India as a market works quite differently, but sadly, the numbers this time are underwhelming across the board.
The Fall Guy, like most Hollywood films that open in the range of Rs 50 lakhs, looks to settle for a final total of around or under Rs 5 crores, regardless of the reviews, because the scope for the spread of word of mouth almost is negligible.
In North America, the Ryan Gosling-Emily Blunt movie grossed just over 3 million dollars from premieres on Thursday and it might go onto gross 25 million dollars over the weekend. The film has a long summer corridor which can perhaps help it sustain at low levels but with a start so low, it just can’t go that far.
Action Comedy Continues To Underperform
This is where action comedies open, and Fall Guy isn’t that far from the $30M starts of Paramount 2022 adventure rom-com The Lost City and David Leitch’s previous movie, 2022’s Bullet Train. But damn, was Fall Guy, for this concept, expensive at $130M after Australian tax credits. Some have heard the production cost was even higher at $150M.
