Here Has Passed A Box Office Milestone
It Still Has A Long Way To Go
Herehas hit a box office milestone. The movie, which uses a static camera shot to explore a nonlinear story about centuries of drama that take place on a single plot of land and in the home that is built upon it, is a reunion betweenForrest Gumpdirector Robert Zemeckis, screenwriter Eric Roth, and co-stars Robin Wright and Tom Hanks. TheHerecastalso includes Paul Bettany, Kelly Reilly, and Michelle Dockery. During its opening weekend,the movie debuted at No. 5 at the domestic box officewith just $4.8 million.
It is still significantly in the red…
PerCollider,Herehas now grossed $10.2 million worldwide from a $9.8 million domestic gross and $368,000 from its international release. This has finallypushed it past the $10 million milestone after nearly two full weeksin theaters. However, the movie’s production budget, which is estimated to be between $45 and $50 million, means that it is still significantly in the red, nor does it show any signs of improving by the end of its theatrical run.

TheForrest Gumpreunion movie’s box office performance, which might have been battered byHerereviewsearning it a dismal 35% score on Rotten Tomatoes, likely means that it will never turn a profit in theaters. Typically, movies need to earn two and a half times their budgets, most likelyplacing its break-even point somewhere around $115 million. It seems impossible for it to reach that goal, especially with the impending releases of major blockbuster tentpoles includingRed One,Wicked,Gladiator II, andMoana 2crowding out theaters.
