The Creator, an original sci-fi feature from the director of Rogue One, starring John David Washington, struggles to bring the box office to life.
The Big Picture The Creator is still some way off of surpassing the money spent on its production at the global box office. The original science-fiction action film from writer/director Gareth Edwards has crept over the $60 million mark worldwide, for a total of $61.8 million following its second weekend of release. The film was produced for approximately $80 million.
The box office split has seen the film starring lead John David Washington earn $24.9 million domestically and $36.9 million internationally — having performed well in a number of overseas markets. On the domestic front, The Creator slots into the number four spot this weekend behind The Exorcist: Believer, PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie, and Saw X with a $6.1 million take representing a hold of -57%, putting it ahead of fellow science fiction movie Dune , but behind Blade Runner: 2049 .
The Creator backed up its high ranking in international markets via a series of strong holds in several regions, with the best coming in Spain , followed by Australia , Germany , France , UK , Italy and Mexico . However, despite a strong showing internationally, The Creator’s global box office gross of $61.8 million following two weekends raises the question of how profitable this film can be given the fact that the reported $80 million production fee comes before marketing costs.
What Is ‘The Creator’ About? Written and directed by Edwards, The Creator stars Washington in the lead role in a dystopian future where humans are at war with Artificial Intelligence. Washington’s character Joshua is tasked with taking out the AI’s secret weapon — a mission that could turn the tides of war in humanity’s favor, but when he discovers that the secret weapon is an AI in the form of a child, Joshua is faced with a mild dilemma.
