How much is Masters of the Universe expected to earn on its opening weekend?
According to Box Office Pro’s data, Masters of the Universe is tracking to earn between $25 million and $35 million on its opening weekend. It was reportedly made on a budget of $170 million, and as per that, these are poor numbers the film is tracking to open to at the domestic box office. Anyway, the Jared Leto starrer movie would have to earn at least $65 million to break into the top 5 biggest opening weekends of 2026.
Masters of the Universe will have to beat Scream 7’s $63.6 million opening weekend collection to break into the top 5 biggest opening weekends of the year. This Friday, the list is expected to change, and Scream 7 would exit the top 5 biggest debuts with Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu hitting the screens. With these current estimates, the He-Ma movie might not break into the top 5, and there is a lower chance that the actual number will be drastically higher than this range.
