Masters of the Universe added $5.6 million from 2,517 venues in its third domestic weekend, Variety reported Sunday, bringing the Amazon MGM reboot to $56 million in North America and $101.9 million worldwide against a reported $200 million production budget.
The figure marks a 37 percent drop from the prior frame, a far gentler decline than the roughly 70 percent fall the film posted in its second weekend. The softer slide comes after the title had already shed most of its audience and its theater count, leaving fewer ticket buyers to lose.
The weekend belonged to Pixar’s Toy Story 5, which opened to $160 million from 4,425 North America theaters, the biggest domestic debut of 2026 and a franchise opening-weekend record. Steven Spielberg’s Disclosure Day held second with $17 million, and Masters of the Universe sat well outside the top five as the new family release absorbed the screens it would have needed to extend its run.
Variety reiterated that the film “will leave theaters as one of the year’s biggest bombs.” The third-weekend hold does little to change that math, with the worldwide gross still short of the production budget before marketing and the exhibitor split are counted.
