Mark Wahlberg's New Movie Opens Below Expectations (But May Not Be A Total Box Office Failure)

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Mark Wahlberg’s Arthur the King is struggling at the box office in its first weekend. It follows Wahlberg's Michael Light, an endurance racer who meets a stray dog that follows him everywhere he goes. The dog, Arthur, clings to Light throughout a long race and becomes a veritable mascot for Light's team.

Wahlberg struggled to film Arthur the King and to meet its demanding training requirements, but his effort has not led to box office success. While Kung Fu Panda 4 held its place at the top spot, Dune 2 took second place, and Arthur the King opened at a disappointing and distant third. With just $7.5 million in its opening weekend, the movie may struggle to achieve profitability against its $19 million budget.

Can Arthur The King Recover At The Box Office? Close If Arthur the King is ever going to recover at the box office, it will need a strong performance next week to do it. Unfortunately, both Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire and Luca will be released during that span, which could provide more strong competition. Still, Arthur the King can survive if it achieves a strong performance, due to its positive word-of-mouth promotion. Considering its CinemaScore, that is certainly still a possibility.
