Masters of the Universe is not having a great time at the box office.
The live-action movie from Amazon MGM Studios and Mattel Studios, based on the iconic franchise, hit U.S. theaters on June 5, and is already facing a major 70% decline in its second weekend, via Variety.
The film is No. 5 at this week’s box office, bringing in $8.6 million from 3,677 locations, bringing its overall haul to $45.7 million domestically and $84 million worldwide. The movie had a nearly $200 million production budget, and, according to the outlet’s assessment, “will leave theaters as one of the year’s biggest bombs.”
Here’s the official synopsis: “In Masters of the Universe, director Travis Knight brings the legendary franchise back to the big screen in this epic live-action adventure. After being separated for 15 years, the Sword of Power leads Prince Adam (Nicholas Galitzine) back to Eternia where he discovers his home shattered under the fiendish rule of Skeletor (Jared Leto). To save his family and his world, Adam must join forces with his closest allies, Teela (Camila Mendes) and Duncan/Man-At-Arms (Idris Elba), and embrace his true destiny as He-Man — the most powerful man in the universe.
