New DiCaprio Film Bombs at the Box Office During Opening Weekend

Analysts who predicted how much it would collect in its opening weekend turned out to be right.

"One Battle After Another" was expected to pull in around $20 million during its opening weekend. But as Variety reports, it actually earned $22.4 million in the US. That's still considered a flop for a film with a $140 million production budget. Another $70 million went toward marketing.

The film picked up just over $20 million internationally, but with numbers like these, there's no way it'll hit the $300 million needed to break even. The zoomboola.com team reminds readers that filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson probably won't lose sleep over the poor box office performance. Neither will Leonardo DiCaprio, who stars in the lead role. This was clearly designed as festival fare, and it's got every chance of collecting its share of prestigious awards.
