Currently, there are two video game adaptations running in cinemas simultaneously. Sony’s film based on Until Dawn premiered on April 25, joining the already released A Minecraft Movie. How did Until Dawn perform? Not as impressively as A Minecraft Movie, but it wasn’t anticipated to do so well.
In the United States, the Until Dawn Movie generated earnings of approximately $8 million, while international markets contributed around $10 million, resulting in a global opening total of about $18 million. Interestingly, the film’s production budget was estimated to be around $15 million (not including marketing and other expenses). The U.S. earnings fell on the lower end of projections, as it was anticipated that the movie would make anywhere from $8 million to $10 million in this region.
Compared to other movies, a recent screening of Minecraft in US cinemas brought in approximately $22.7 million over the weekend. Globally, it has amassed earnings exceeding $800 million.
Discussions about Sony’s Until Dawn movie often centered around the fact that the original writers, Larry Fessenden and Graham Reznick, did not receive credit for the film. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Fessenden expressed his disappointment, stating that there is “no courtesy in show business,” but he was still taken aback to find his name missing from the credits.
Previously, Fessenden and Reznick proposed a movie adaptation of Until Dawn to Sony, likening it to Brainscan and New Nightmare. Unfortunately, Sony declined their idea, leading to Blair Butler and Gary Dauberman being commissioned instead for the current version of Until Dawn that’s now playing in cinemas.
The film doesn’t follow the original game’s narrative, but rather introduces a fresh cast of characters in a new setting, with only Peter Stormare’s persona being recurring. Additionally, this movie incorporates a time loop device, an element that was absent from the game itself.
Until Dawn was helmed by David F. Sandberg, who later on expressed some reservations about directing another intellectual property film following the unfavorable response and even death threats he received for his DC movie.
