Now You See Me: Now You Don’t keeps moving along with a steady confidence as it leans on its loyal crowds overseas. The movie seems to know where its strength lies, and it shows in the numbers. China has given it a strong push, and even Russia has turned into a surprising supporter. With more than $50 million already collected overseas, the movie enters its second weekend with the pace needed to reach the $100 million worldwide mark. The makers knew their international base would come to the rescue again, and that prediction appears to be lining up.
Now You See Me: Now You Don’t Box Office Performance: US Reception Slows the Heist Sequel’s Domestic Momentum
The American heist sequel, built off the success of the first two films, now stands at more than $80 million worldwide, as per Box Office Mojo. The response at home in the US tells a more muted story, though. It has stayed on top of the daily and weekend charts since release, but the momentum feels fragile. Ariana Grande’s Wicked for Good arrives this Friday, and the trade circle is already whispering that Now You See Me: Now You Don’t is about to hand over its crown. A new release with that kind of fan pull tends to rearrange the charts in no time.
Now You See Me: Now You Don’t Box Office Summary
- North America – $26.4 million
- International – $54.2 million
- Worldwide – $80.6 million
High Budget Creates Pressure on the Film’s Break-Even Point
The real tension hides behind the production budget, which climbed to $90 million this time. That number casts a long shadow because the movie has pulled lower figures than the first two installments so far in both domestic and overseas markets. The earlier movies rode their own wave of charm and landed higher totals during their runs. This new sequel needs a strong follow-through if it wants to reach a safe zone and avoid long discussions about missed expectations.
