The Need for Speed movie from DreamWorks and starring Breaking Bad's Aaron Paul hit theaters on Friday and while critics might not have adored it, the CGI-free film managed to nearly recoup its entire production budget during its opening weekend.
The numbers are in (via The Hollywood Reporter)
and though the Need for Speed movie finished third in North America
with $17.8 million, it picked up another $45.6 million internationally
for a total of $63.4 million. The movie's production budget was $66
million.
"It's a disappointing start on the
domestic side, but to open to that number worldwide and nearly match the
budget of the film is great," Disney distribution chief Dave Hollis
said. Disney is DreamWorks' distribution partner for the Need for Speed
movie. "This was a very affordable movie and with many territories left
to open, everyone will be just fine. We feel great about where we are."
In North America, Need for Speed finished third behind 300: Rise of An Empire ($19.1 million) and Mr. Peabody & Sherman $21.2 million. .
