Universal's The Fall Guy struggles at the box office despite stabilization this weekend.
The film is unlikely to recoup its reported production costs with its global haul falling short of expectations.
Director David Leitch's homage to the stunt community holds a "fresh" 82% score on Rotten Tomatoes despite underperforming at the box office.

There’s no two ways about it. Universal’s The Fall Guy is struggling at the box office, despite having stabilized itself this weekend. The big-budget action-comedy, starring Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt, is reportedly yet to recover production costs as it nears a digital release, which is expected to be later this month. Such a narrow theatrical window isn’t unusual in the post-pandemic world, although studios tend to delay a film’s digital release if it seems to be doing well in theaters. But The Fall Guy has been playing catch-up since the day it debuted less than three weeks ago. The movie grossed $8.5 million domestically in its third weekend while adding just over $7 million from international markets.

With $62 million domestically and another $64 million from overseas markets, the film’s cumulative global haul now stands at $127 million. Going by current trends, The Fall Guy is expected to wrap up its theatrical run with less than $200 million globally, which would be less than the lifetime haul of director David Leitch’s last release, Bullet Train.

Having started out as a stunt performer and coordinator, Leitch debuted as director (alongside Chad Stahelski) with the first John Wick movie. But while Stahelski took the original action series to new heights, Leitch branched out and delivered hit after hit in pre-established franchises such as Deadpool and Fast & Furious. The Fall Guy is his homage to the stunt community he hails from, as well as a loving tribute to moviemaking itself. But it marks a steep box office decline for both Gosling and Blunt, who starred in two of the biggest hits of 2023.
