Despite nabbing first place at the domestic box office, Disney’s MaleficentMistressOfEvil debuted significantly below expectations. Why it misfired:
” will need to pull in at least $475 million globally to break even and closer to $500 million to turn a profit theatrically.
Box office watchers point out that “Maleficent: Mistress of Evil” arrived on the big screen five years after the original, allowing audience interest to diminish before the second entry premiered.
It’s possible that Warner Bros.’ “Joker,” despite its R rating, might have infringed upon “Maleficent: Mistress of Evil’s” inaugural outing. Joaquin Phoenix’s disturbing take on Batman’s famous foe is attracting a much broader audience than expected and continues to hold strong at the global box office. In its third weekend in theaters, “Joker” added another $29 million in North America, boosting its domestic haul to $247 million for a worldwide tally of $737 million.
