The numbers are in for the first weekend of Morbius, and it’s a decent result.
Following a slew of negative reviews, the public got its say when it comes to the latest expansion of Sony Pictures’ Spider-Man universe. In the United States the film is slated to take in #39 million this weekend including the Thursday night previews.
Internationally, the film took in $44.9 million from 62 markets and broke down as:
- UK ($4.2M)
- MEX ($3.8M)
- FRA ($3.3M)
- KOR ($2.6M)
- OZ ($2.5M)
- ESP ($2.2M)
- JPN ($2M)
- ITA ($1.9M)
- BRA ($1.8M)
- GER ($1.8M)
- INDO ($1.4M)
This brings the global total to $84 million.
With a budget of $75 million – not counting marketing and other associated costs – this is a good start for the film’s run. It does, however, face some heavy competition next weekend with the release of Sonic 2.
