Smurfs, featuring Rihanna as Smurfette’s voice, had a disastrous debut at the North American box office. The film debuted at #4 in the domestic box office chart and registered the lowest debut in the franchise. It is expected to be a box office bomb in the long run, and the overseas collections can only save it. Keep scrolling for the deets.
The film received heavily negative reviews, and word of mouth also does not favor it. Thus, bouncing back and earning strong numbers seems impossible for the animated feature for now. It is also more difficult because multiple options that are better in every way are available in the theaters.

Based on the data provided by Box Office Mojo, Smurfs collected just $11 million on its opening weekend at the box office in North America. The Paramount animation is #4 in the domestic box office chart on its first weekend. The animated feature is behind another new release, I Know What You Did Last Summer, at #3.
Smurfs not only opened with underwhelming collections at the North American box office but also registered the franchise’s lowest opening ever.
