That’s a big drop from the first film in the franchise, which grossed $53 million when it opened in the United States in 2019 and a total of $155 million worldwide.

The film, which has a budget of 125 million dollars, we expected a very moderate success, but it is quite the opposite. Its disappointing box office numbers should worry Warner Bros. executives.

It was expected that the inclusion of new characters, such as the film’s villain, played by Helen Mirren, Lucy Liu, Rachel Zegler It’s included Adam Brody, will attract a wider audience to theaters.
