Dwayne Johnson’s adventure film Jungle Cruise collected over $34 million in theatres and earned another $30 million on OTT platforms. The competition is already fierce after the film managed to perform at this level.
Jungle Cruise released on July 21, 2021 with a budget of $200 million starring Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt in their respective pivotal roles.
To everybody’s surprise, the film managed to debut somewhat ahead of expectations despite concerns regarding the ongoing COVID-19 crisis due to delta variant.
Although, it managed to collect $34 million in the first weekend, but it looks quite disappointing for a film which has been produced with a whopping budget of $200 million. The under performance of the film at the domestic box office would definitely make the makers feel disappointed at some level.
In the presence of the pandemic, it seems like theatrical business of films might go up in the time to come, but there is no guarantee, especially in the presence of the 3rd wave of coronavirus.
