Big-Budget Film’s Projected Opening Matches ‘Sound of Freedom’ in 1 Day

Early Projections for “Blue Beetle” Paint a‍ Bleak Picture for Warner Bros.

Exciting news has just been released ⁤regarding an upcoming Warner Bros. mega-budget blockbuster. However, the future is not ​looking too bright for the film ⁤studio.

The highly anticipated superhero action flick, ‍”Blue Beetle,” is⁢ projected to make a​ disappointing‍ $12 ⁢to $17 million during its entire opening ​weekend.

According to Box Office Pro, the total budget for “Blue ⁢Beetle” is‍ an astounding ⁢$120 million. The film is set to hit theaters on Aug. 18.

These underwhelming projections​ not only signify another setback for‌ Warner Bros.,‌ but‍ they also⁣ highlight the incredible success of Angel Studios’ “Sound of Freedom.”

A True Story of Heroism

Starring Jim Caviezel, known for his ⁣role in ​”Passion of the Christ,” “Sound of Freedom” depicts the courageous journey of former Homeland Security officer Tim Ballard as he embarks on‌ a daring global mission to rescue children from sex traffickers.

Watch the trailer for the movie below:

Despite its modest ⁤budget of $14.5 million, ⁢just a fraction⁣ of the total “Blue Beetle” budget, “Sound of Freedom” managed to rake in an impressive $14.2‍ million during ‍its opening weekend on‍ July 4, as reported by Variety. This is nearly the ‍same amount ‌that “Blue Beetle” is expected to earn throughout its entire opening ⁤weekend.

With its pivotal role ‌in Warner Bros.’ ‍plans, “Blue Beetle” is a crucial film for the studio.

According​ to Movie Web, this superhero movie is the first installment in a⁣ revamped ‌cinematic universe based on the world of⁤ DC ⁣Comics.

Unfortunately, things are not looking up ‌for “Blue Beetle” after ⁢its lackluster projected ⁣opening.

Box Office Pro predicts that the film ⁤will only reach a total domestic box office of $27 ​to $55​ million, as stated in this article.

If these predictions hold​ true, “Blue Beetle” will not even come close to ‌recouping its massive budget by the​ end of its⁢ theatrical run.

This‌ disappointment adds⁣ to the growing⁣ list‌ of ⁤major failures for Warner Bros. superhero blockbusters.

In a well-known incident, the ⁤studio decided to shelve the already completed $90 million “Batgirl”⁢ film in 2022, despite ‌having finished‍ filming, as⁢ reported by Variety.

The most recent Warner Bros. DC film‍ to hit theaters, “The Flash,” earned just under $110 ⁤million​ domestically ⁤and is projected to result ‍in a loss of up to $200 million for the studio, according to ‍ Collider.

Meanwhile, “Sound of Freedom” ​is thriving without any⁤ such troubles.

Once again, the low-budget ⁤film⁤ had⁤ a⁣ strong showing at the box office this past weekend.

Currently, ‌the total domestic box office ⁢earnings for ​”Sound of Freedom” ‌stand at an impressive $124.7 million.
