The Killer’s Game Box Office (North America): Dave Bautista’s Action-Comedy Eyes A Grim Start Owing To Poor Reviews

Lionsgate’s bad streak continues at the box office. The Studio’s latest entry, The Killer’s Game, is poised for a grim start at the domestic box office. Lionsgate, which had two of the summer’s biggest flops, Borderlands and The Crow, is in for another disappointment with its latest release.

Dave Bautista’s new action comedy movie The Killer’s Game will open in theaters on September 13, 2024. It will debut alongside another new horror entry, Speak No Evil, starring James McAvoy. Blumhouse’s horror flick, with a production budget of $15 million, is projected to be a moderate hit, with a $10 million start in its opening weekend. However, Lionsgate’s The Killer’s Game is projected to earn significantly less than the competing entry.

The Killer’s Game is estimated to earn $5 million in the debut weekend after landing bad reviews. The film currently has a 53% critic score on the review aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes. The Hollywood Reporter slammed the film, calling it a weary old tale. They said, “The Killer’s Game has a tired air of familiarity that makes it wear out its welcome long before its conclusion.”
