That\u2019s a franchise record opening for the film, even as reviews were pretty scathing for the title, with just a 27% on Rotten Tomatoes.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, those worried about \u201cMasters of the Universe\u201d having a soft opening were right to be concerned.  The film is headed for a $31.3 million debut following a Friday and previews haul of $12.1 million.  While critics reviews run softly positive, audience review scores have been higher.<\/p>\n<p>Coming in third will be the second weekend of \u201cBackrooms\u201d which landed $8.5 million on Friday and is headed for a $26.5 million three-day haul.  That\u2019s a fairly steep drop of 67% from its debut.  End of Sunday, it will hit a total of $135.6 million domestically.<\/p>\n<p>The continuous climb of Curry Barker\u2019s horror romance \u201cObsession\u201d appears to have reached its apex, the film\u2019s fourth weekend haul looking to come in at $24.8 million \u2013 a very slight drop of 9% after an incredible three weekends of straight climbs.  By end of Sunday, it\u2019ll be at $151.3 million domestically.<\/p>\n<p>Fathom Entertainment\u2019s \u201cThe Amazing Digital Circus: The Last Act\u201d will be fifth with $20.8 million after topping the box-office on Thursday.  That will mark a record opening for Fathom and above pre-release expectations.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/2026\/06\/box-office-scary-movie-masters-of-the-universe-backrooms-1236941701\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Deadline<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Paramount Pictures The numbers are now coming in and, as expected, the return of the \u201cScary Movie\u201d franchise&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":718995,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[64,63,142132,134],"class_list":["post-718994","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-bigslider","tag-entertainment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/718994","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=718994"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/718994\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/718995"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=718994"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=718994"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=718994"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
