US EditionHere’s How Bad ‘The Bride!’ Bombed At The Box Office In Its Opening Weekend
Warner Bros. could face a $90 million loss after The Bride! grossed only $13.6 million worldwide on an $80 million budget, hindered by poor reviews and timing.
- On its opening weekend, Warner Bros. Motion Picture Group's The Bride! earned $7.3m domestically and $13.6m worldwide, with industry sources saying it could lose as much as $90m.
- Warner Bros. shifted the release from Oct. 3, 2025, to early March, citing timing and mixed reviews from Rotten Tomatoes and CinemaScore as factors.
- The Bride! finished third at the US box office behind Scream 7 and Pixar film Hoppers, which opened with $46 million, falling well short of studio projections of $16 million to $18 million domestic and $40 million global.
- In a note to press on Sunday, Warner Bros. defended the film's results as the weak opening ends a remarkable winning streak after nine No. ones and adds to recent costly misses.
- Studio executives now face questions about bets on originals as Warner Bros. co-chairs Mike De Luca and Pam Abdy’s auteur-driven swings strain; hits like Sinners returned $370 million on $90 million while other gambles faltered.
