What factors explain The Fall Guy's final domestic box office vs budget?

[JeffreyUG]

I just saw the final domestic total for *The Fall Guy* and I’m honestly a bit confused. For a movie with that much star power and decent reviews, the final number feels soft compared to its reported budget. I’m trying to understand what factors, beyond just the opening weekend, led to that specific theatrical run.

I saw the final domestic total too. It looked decent in week one but the follow-ups were underwhelming, and the overall run didn’t feel as big as the star power suggested.

I pulled the weekend-by-weekend numbers yesterday. Opening weekend was decent, but the legs were weak, and the final domestic total didn’t come close to the budget.

Do you think the misalignment between marketing and the actual film is the real issue here?

I keep thinking about the release calendar too—the movie had to fight for attention against a crowded summer slate, and that kind of competition can beat even big names. Not sure if that explains everything, though.
