Benedict Cumberbatch’s satirical remake The Roses has been on the big screen for three weeks, but the numbers are not giving much to cheer about. The film was made with a budget of $30 million and while it has managed to pass that mark, the bigger goal of breaking even remains far away. With its theatre count now dropping by around 1,300, the chance of reaching $50 million worldwide looks more and more unlikely, and the outcome points toward a heavy loss.
The Roses’ Earnings Fail to Match Expectations
So far, The Roses has collected about $41 million, with most of that coming from overseas markets where Cumberbatch’s name carries recognition. Even that pull has not been enough to deliver strong results as domestically, the performance has been especially weak. In its opening weekend, it managed to touch the million-dollar mark, but after that, the daily collections dropped under $800,000 except for one day.
The Roses Box Office Summary
