'Renfield' debuted with $10 million at the global box office.
Online buzz doesn't always translate into box office returns; we've seen it before, and we're seeing it again this week, as Universal’s aggressive launch of the horror comedy Renfield delivers soft numbers. Starring Nicholas Hoult as the titular character and Nicolas Cage as Count Dracula, the modern-day re-imagining of the Transylvanian legend opened to an estimated $7.7 million domestically. It added another $2.3 million from overseas markets, for a global debut of $10 million.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT In Renfield, Hoult’s titular character decides to explore outside opportunities after a lifetime of servitude in the employ of “history’s most narcissistic boss.” The film received a ho-hum B- CinemaScore from opening day audiences, and currently sits at a “rotten” 59% score on the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes.
McKay made a name for himself on the cult animated comedy series Robot Chicken, before making his feature directorial debut with the acclaimed The Lego Batman Movie. He branched out into live-action with the big-budget science-fiction film The Tomorrow War, starring Chris Pratt. McKay also contributed to the story of Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, which finished just behind Renfield at the domestic box office this weekend.
