What this means for the long Walk

The Long Walk HAVING LOWER PRIVIEW NUMBERS THAN The Monkey is slightly disappointing for the New Movie, Becausee ITS Reported Budget of $ 20 Million is Twice As Much AS The Monkey‘s $ 10 million. Howver, Both Stephen King Movies Have Slim Budgets Compared to Many Modern Hollywood Films.

Movies typically Only Need to Earn Back Two and A Half Times their Budgets in Order to Break in Theaters, Which May Place The Long Walk‘s estimated Break-else Point somewhere around $ 50 million.

If it maintains its current trajectory relative to The Monkey (which was a hit, grossing $ 68.9 million Worldwide), It Could Still Roughly Hit that MarkLegging Out to About $ 47 Million.

Our Take on the Long Walk’s Box Office Previews

The Preview Numbers of 2025’s The Long Walk May be impacted by the fact that it has arrived in early september, when the schoool year in the US has begun and tickets buying on the weekelly slows down Somewhat. It Remains to Be Seen If Its Opened Weekend Will See A Boost Between Friday and Sunday.

If IF The Long Walk‘s 3-day debut comes in below The Monkey‘s (which was $ 14 million), it has a relatively quieth month ahead of it, During which it could beper a sleeper hit. The Next Major Big-Budget Movie to Hit Theaters is Stuck: Areswhich doesn’t debut unil october 10, giving the dystopian Movie plenty of time to catch up.
