'Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves' has earned $15.3 million at the Friday box office.
The positive buzz is paying off. Paramount's potential franchise-starter, Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, is looking to deliver a $40 million opening weekend at the domestic box office, after a solid $15.3 million on Friday, including $5.6 million from Thursday previews. Heading into the weekend, the fantasy-comedy film was projected to make between $30 million and $40 million in its opening weekend.
Another positive sign came in the A- CinemaScore that the film received from opening day audiences. Based on the popular table-top fantasy game, Honor Among Thieves expanded into 3,800 domestic theaters on Friday, and bowed in 58 international territories. The movie needs all the help that it can get, considering its hefty $150 million production budget.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The studio is coming off of a strong 2022, which began with the fifth Scream film and peaked with the record-breaking performance of Top Gun: Maverick. This year, Paramount has already tasted success with Scream VI, which was released in March and has so far grossed nearly $150 million worldwide. In fact, March was an excellent month overall at the domestic box office, with Creed III and John Wick: Chapter 4 also delivering the goods.
Holdover Hits are Continuing to Perform at the Box Office After the success of the recent Jesus Revolution, another faith-based film is hoping to attract its target demographic this week. Angel Studios' Biblical drama His Only Son is eyeing a $5 million-plus opening weekend after a $2.1 million Friday. By comparison, Jesus Revolution made $15.8 million in its opening weekend in February, and is almost about to pass the $50 million mark domestically.
Honor Among Thieves finds itself in a rather competitive marketplace; it isn't merely battling John Wick 4, but next week, it'll face off against Universal's The Super Mario Bros. Movie.
