Him, a sports thriller about a football player training to be the greatest is far from being great box office champion.
Produced by Jordan Peele and directed by Justin Tipping, the psychological thriller follows an aging quarterback (Marlon Wayans) who trains a rising football star (Tyriq Withers) to some chilling consequences.
The film opened behind expectations with $13.5 million from 3,168 North American venues.
Those ticket sales weren’t enough to dethrone last weekend’s champ, “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle.”
After a close race for No. 1, the anime smash from Sony-owned Crunchyroll ruled again at the domestic box office with $17.3 million in its second frame.
Him also opened at the international box office, where it bombed with $400,000 from 25 markets. That brings the film’s global tally to $13.86 million.
“Him” cost $27 million and won’t require a ton to turn a theatrical profit.
Both critics and audiences rejected the film (it’s saddled with a 28% Rotten Tomatoes average and “C-” grade on CinemaScore), which will hurt word-of-mouth during its screen run.
Producer Jordan Peele name is featured throughout the campaign, but the movie is not being received well.
