Verbinski’s Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die Opens to $4.2 Million, Misses Top 5 but Sets Briarcliff Record

A streaming home and international rollout remain unannounced.

Overview

  • After its first holiday frame, the film has taken in about $4.2 million domestically, landing outside the weekend’s top five.
  • Estimates put the three-day debut at roughly $3.6 million and the four-day President’s Day total near $4.1 million from 1,610 theaters.
  • Despite the modest start, Koimoi reports it is Briarcliff Entertainment’s biggest opening to date and already among the distributor’s top earners.
  • Critical reception is broadly positive, with Rotten Tomatoes in the mid‑80s and audience scores in the high‑80s, and reviews highlight Gore Verbinski’s return and standout performances from Sam Rockwell and Haley Lu Richardson.
  • With a reported $20 million production budget, Koimoi estimates the film would need around $50 million worldwide to break even, and no international release or streaming partner has been announced.
