The film fell short of expectations, collecting $28.5 million during the opening weekend of May 3. Despite hope that it would have long legs (Leitch’s prior film, 2022’s Brad Pitt-led assassin thriller “Bullet Train,” overcame similar box office odds), “The Fall Guy” looks like it may find more success outside the cinema.
Also, audiences and critics are digging the film, which landed an “A-” CinemaScore and 83% on Rotten Tomatoes. “The Fall Guy” sees Gosling as a former stuntman who tries to track down a missing movie star (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) so he can salvage a big studio movie, which is being directed by his ex-girlfriend (Blunt).
In his review of the film, Variety film critic Peter DeBruge writes that “If the movie feels overstuffed, that’s because Leitch wants to give audiences more than just a taste, but the full buffet of what his trade is capable of. By the end, we can’t help appreciating just how hard it is to make action look easy.”
In addition to hitting digital, the film is also available to pre-order on 4K UHD, DVD and Blu-ray. As always, these physical editions will come with dozens of bonus features, such as deleted scenes, bloopers and interviews with the cast and director. These editions won’t ship out until January of 2025.
