Unfortunately, “Baywatch” has failed to impress the global audiences and critics. In no time, “Wonder Woman” became the major hit this summer. This film earned over $103 million in its opening weekend, while “Baywatch” could gross only $12 million in its opening weekend.
DreamWorks Animation's mega-budget film “Captain Underpants” earned $3.5 million in its second weekend, dropping 51% from its opening weekend.
“The Boss Baby” is expected to gross $50 million in its opening weekend and will hit a theater near you this weekend. Nonetheless, the Fox-distributed film is doing better business than “Baywatch.”
Different films at the box-office
Walt Disney's new film “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales” has earned $3.2 million in its third weekend, while its second weekend’s gross is $20 million. And Marvel's mega-budget movie “Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 2” earned over $1.7 million on its sixth weekend, and is one of the major hits this summer. Only “Wonder Woman” is on its way to touch the $1 billion mark.
On June 9, 2017, Tom Cruise starred “The Mummy” hit the global theaters. Despite its strong international marketing and promotions, the monster movie has failed to impress the audiences and critics.
Box office report of ‘Baywatch.'
Priyanka Chopra, Dwayne Johnson, Zac Efron, Alexandra Daddario and Pamela Anderson had high expectations with their R-rated movie “Baywatch.” The whole team got involved in promotional campaigns. Priyanka Chopra and Dwayne Johnson used to promote the film through official Instagram and Twitter. They uploaded dozens of movie clips and posters on social media accounts to create excitement among fans. But nothing could get “Baywatch” satisfactory comments.
At the box office, this film has grossed only $26 million, and early projections revealed that “Baywatch” would make at least $50 million in its opening weekend.
The movie has been developed with a budget of $70 million and becomes a disappointment for the studio. We feel that “Baywatch” needed a lot of work on its story, cinematography, and action sequences before the movie could be released. Fox's new film “Alien: Covenant” has earned over $445,000 this weekend, from 1,614 screens. The movie is doing okay, but cannot beat out “Wonder Woman.”
“Baywatch” is an action comedy directed by Seth Gordon. Kelly Rohrbach, Ilfenesh Hadera, and Jon Bass play the supporting characters, and the movie was released on May 25, 2017, by Paramount Pictures. It seems that “Baywatch” will not even touch the $400 million mark of “xXx,” a Hollywood Movie featuring Deepika Padukone.
It was released in January 2017. On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, it has an approval rating of 21% based on 165 critics. On Metacritic, “Baywatch” has an average score of 38 out of 100 based on 106 reviews.
