Although its final outcome remains uncertain, it’s likely that the movie “Karate Kid: Legends,” which focuses on the multiverse, will surpass expectations at the domestic box office. This is despite the fact that it features original star Ralph Macchio and action legend Jackie Chan, who collaborated in the 2010 remake.
The movie with a predominantly male cast, produced by Sony, is expected to debut in third place this weekend, earning between $21 million and $23 million. Originally, rival studios predicted the film would make around $19 million, but tracking suggested a more substantial opening of $25 million; three weeks ago, the prediction was even higher at $35 million. However, Sony is optimistic that despite the slightly lower earnings, the PG-13 movie will prove to be robust due to positive audience feedback and an A- grade from CinemaScore. Moreover, the production budget for this film was relatively low at approximately $45 million, considering marketing costs.
As a gaming enthusiast, I’ve noticed that opinions on “Karate Kid: Legends” seem to vary quite a bit among critics compared to the audience response. In this film, Ben Wang plays the main character who gets guidance from not one, but two iconic figures. The first is Ralph Macchio, the original star of the 1984 classic movie, and the second is his character from the hit Netflix series “Cobra Kai,” which spanned six seasons before wrapping up earlier this year.
In 2010, Sony breathed new life into the franchise through “The Karate Kid,” which featured Jackie Chan alongside Jaden Smith. This film, earning $55 million in domestic box office sales, ranked among the biggest hits of that year.
It’s thought by some movie experts that fans of the Cobra Kai franchise might have had enough, at least temporarily, due to the series being seen as a continuation of the first three movies, with the third film coming out in 1989. Furthermore, mediocre reviews for the latest installment, Legends, aren’t helping matters.

The success story was spearheaded by Disney’s “Lilo & Stitch,” which surpassed all predictions in its opening week, earning close to $183 million domestically and breaking multiple records. This film, without a doubt, continues to hold the top spot with an impressive margin, and it is anticipated to bring in over $60 million this weekend, marking one of the strongest second week performances for a live-action remake from Disney. By the end of Sunday, “Lilo” is projected to have amassed a staggering domestic total of $280 million.
In second place, Tom Cruise’s latest “Mission: Impossible” film, titled “Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning“, produced by Paramount and Skydance, is holding strong with a projected domestic earnings of $28 million for its second week. It surpassed the $100 million mark on Friday, just eight days after its release, following an opening weekend that brought in a franchise record of $79 million during the extended holiday period.
