Idris Elba Creature Feature ‘Beast’ Claws Its Way to $21.8 Million Worldwide

Pitting Idris Elba up against a bloodthirsty lion, Beast was released alongside Orphan: First Kill in theaters this past weekend, finishing in the #2 spot on the domestic box office charts.

From 3,743 theaters here in the United States, Beast roared its way to an $11,570,000 opening weekend, with the film’s current worldwide total now sitting at $21,852,000.

The downside for Universal Pictures on this one is that the production budget for Beast was a reported $36 million, meaning the film still has a long way to go to break even.

Beast will have to hit roughly $100 million to start being profitable in theaters, once you factor in the marketing spend and the cut of the profits that theaters will be given.

No word yet on an at-home release. Stay tuned.

In Beast, “A recently widowed man (Idris Elba) and his two teenage daughters travel to a game reserve in South Africa. However, their journey of healing soon turns into a fight for survival when a bloodthirsty lion starts to stalk them.”

Baltasar Kormákur (EverestAdrift) directed Beast for Universal Pictures. Based on an idea by Jaime Primak-Sullivan, Ryan Engle (Rampage) wrote the script.

Meagan Navarro wrote in her 3-star review for Bloody Disgusting (read it here), “Beast may not bite as hard as it’d like, but it’s entertaining enough while it lasts.”
