‘Elusive 3’ Outpaces ‘Running man’ at Box Office, latter Faces Potential Financial Disappointment
Elusive 3 has secured a stronger opening at the box office than Running Man, signaling potential trouble for the Edgar Wright-directed film despite a hefty $110 million production budget. Elusive 3 has grossed $16 million in China, while Running Man debuted with $20.5 million-a figure comparable too Baby Driver’s 2017 launch, but complex by significantly higher costs.
The contrasting financial situations of the two films highlight the increasing risk for big-budget releases. Elusive 3 was produced for $90 million, while Running Man’s $110 million price tag demands a substantially larger return to avoid being considered an economic underperformer.while Running Man mirrors Baby Driver’s initial performance, Baby Driver ultimately earned $107.8 million domestically and $226.9 million worldwide; achieving similar results would still likely result in a loss for Running Man given it’s higher production costs.
Elusive 3 debuted in French cinemas on November 12. Running Man is scheduled for release in France this Wednesday, November 19.
