"Creation of the Gods I: Kingdom of Storms" Struggles at the Box Office: $200 Million Budget, $20 Million Debut
2023-10-23
Martin Scorsese's latest masterpiece, "Creation of the Gods I: Kingdom of Storms," made its global cinematic debut last weekend. It garnered a modest $20 million on its opening weekend across 3,628 theaters in North America and another $21 million in 68 international markets. While the film fell short of the local box office crown as some pre-release analyses predicted, audiences displayed remarkable patience for this 216-minute epic, with a CinemaScore rating of A-.
For traditional Hollywood studios, a $200 million production earning just $20 million on its opening weekend is undeniably a disaster. This financial hurdle was one of the reasons Paramount initially declined to back the project. However, Apple Inc. is currently eager to expand its influence in Hollywood and has invested a billion dollars, including funding Ridley Scott's war biography "Oppenheimer," Matthew Vaughn's new film "Agile," and plans to finance the upcoming projects of Brad Pitt and George Clooney.
For Apple, "Creation of the Gods I: Kingdom of Storms" is now a crucial project in its quest for success during awards season. Their prior film, "The Deaf Girl," made history as the first streaming film to win Best Picture at the Oscars.
