It had a reported budget of $110 million and has an ensemble voice cast that includes Steve Carell, Emily Blunt, Awkwafina, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Bradley Cooper, George Clooney, and more, in addition to the live-action cast members.
As per Deadline’s report, IF has crossed the $50 million mark at the domestic box office. It has earned the third spot at the box office with its $63.2 million cume. Ryan Reynolds and John Krasinski’s movie made $20.7 million on the weekend, according to the media outlet, and sits behind Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga and The Garfield Movie. Both movies opened to over $30 million.
The critics might not have been impressed by John Krasinski’s IF, but the audiences are loving it, it seems, as the Audience Score on Rotten Tomatoes is a solid 87%. On the CineScore platform, the fantasy movie has received an A, and word of mouth for it is quite positive, working in IF’s favor.According to The Numbers’ tally, IF has collected $70.7 million globally so far. Trade analyst Luiz Fernando predicts a $15 million to $18 million increase from its second weekend. It was released on May 17 and is still running in the theatres.
