Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt in The Fall Guy with money falling behind them
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt’s action comedy The Fall Guy is set to be an early summer hit, but what is the film’s budget and how much does it have to make at the box office to turn a profit? Loosely based on the classic 1980s TV series of the same name, The Fall Guy revolves around a hapless stuntman who gets swept up in a widespread conspiracy involving the star of his latest action movie project.
But it has a long way to go before it can turn a profit. Theatrical turnout keeps getting lower and lower, and The Fall Guy was an expensive movie to make. Gosling and Blunt are coming off the biggest box office hits of 2023 – Barbie and Oppenheimer, respectively – but only time will tell if they can get lucky again this year.
The Fall Guy's Budget Is $125 Million The Fall Guy carries a hefty budget of $125 million . This high cost was likely due to the salaries commanded by A-list stars like Gosling and Blunt, who are both hot off of Oscar-nominated roles, and the expense of staging high-octane action sequences. This budget is pitched midway between an experimental mid-budget genre piece like Abigail or Challengers and the giant $200 million+ budgets of Marvel and DC movies.
The Fall Guy's Box Office Needs To Make At Least $250 Million To Succeed With a budget of $125 million, The Fall Guy will need to make at least $250 million at the worldwide box office to be considered a success. Marketing a big movie like The Fall Guy usually costs about as much as it cost to produce, so these movies generally need to double their production budget to become a box office success.
To get into profitable territory, it’ll have to make around 2.5 times its budget , which would be around $310 million. Big-budget, star-studded action comedies like this used to be guaranteed hits, but the genre has suffered some huge bombs in the past couple of years. Barbie and Oppenheimer succeeded because they offered audiences something they’d never seen before, but based on the first reactions to The Fall Guy, it seems to be a fairly formulaic mix of romance and action.
