The Big Picture For a film called The Watchers, the ironic news appears to be that few audiences are actually watching it. Disney and 20th Century’s The Watchers has stumbled out of the gate with an estimated $4.7 million debut from 7,170 screens across 65 overseas markets. Including its domestic opening, the global weekend results come to a disappointing $11.7 million, signaling a rough start for Ishana Night Shyamalan’s directorial debut, budgeted at approximately $30 million.

Is 'The Watchers' Worth Seeing? Close The film, which was expected to capitalize on the Shyamalan name, has instead left audiences and critics alike unimpressed. Collider’s Chase Hutchison didn't hold back in his review. He said: Though it tries to hang its hat on a new traumatic backstory for Mina, this culminates in a cloying final scene that represents everything wrong with the film. Once again, it adds in something of its own, but loses infinitely more in the process. There was plenty of promise to be found in this story and there is still curiosity for what Shyamalan does next. However, this isn’t it. I see dead people in this film, but their cause of death is simply boredom.
