Because of Warner Bros.' involvement, Martin had been keeping an eye on "Dark Places" since the premiere ended.
In North America, the theater attendance rate was not high.
The market response was mediocre.
In the master bedroom of the villa, Martin got the latest box office data fresh out of the oven.
Elizabeth Olsen asked, "I looked at the online reputation, and it seems not too ideal, how's the box office?"
Martin forwarded the data to her and said, "It's worse than I imagined, only 2.74 million US dollars on the first day in North America."
This wasn't a limited screening, but a wide release across more than 3000 cinemas.
"That little?" Elizabeth was somewhat surprised, a thought popped into her head, then she shook her head and asked, "I remember Warner Bros. set the final production budget at 70 million US dollars, right?"
She was rather familiar with Gillian Flynn, "'Gone Girl' received such good response, but this one is doing so poorly…"
