Box office bomb: The release of The Pale Blue Eye comes just weeks after Christian’s previous film Amsterdam bombed at the box office (pictured in September)
The release of The Pale Blue Eye comes just weeks after Christian’s previous movie Amsterdam bombed the box office.
David O. Russell’s star-studded film starring Margot Robbie and Rami Malek only grossed $28 million at the worldwide box office on an $80 million budget.
Despite its stardom, audiences didn’t come out in droves in its opening week, with a paltry US per-screen average of $2,163 for one of the worst debuts of Russell’s directorial career.
Amsterdam was beaten at the box office by Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile, a musical based on Bernard Waber’s children’s book starring Shawn Mendes as the voice of a computer-generated reptile.
After Amsterdam’s poor box office performance, the film was moved from theaters to streaming, leading to competition with The Pale Blue Eye.
