After a so-so performance in its opening weekend at the box office, the sci-fi film The End of Oak Street took a mighty fall in its second frame. While it retained a spot in the top-five list domestically, it dropped by around 60%, which doesn’t bode well for its future at the box office. The movie opened to mostly positive reviews and grossed more than $20 million domestically and nearly $50 million worldwide in its first weekend. Directed by David Robert Mitchell and produced by J.J. Abrams, the film reportedly had a difficult production and was retooled into a 90-minute creature-feature that was a struggle to market to wider audiences. That said, it’s closing in on another prehistoric sci-fi movie featuring A-list talent in front of and behind the camera.
Starring Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor in the lead roles, The End of Oak Street follows a suburban 1980s family whose neighborhood is zapped into a prehistoric past. Suddenly, the family has more to deal with than domestic issues, as their community finds itself in the middle of a dinosaur-infested tropical forest. The movie is now sitting at a “Certified Fresh” 86% score on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, where the consensus reads, “Tapping into the primal pleasures of the classic creature feature, The End of Oak Street is pulpy good fun carried off with a light touch and a sharp bite.”
Here’s How Much ‘The End of Oak Street’ Has Grossed at the Box Office So Far
With nearly $40 million at the domestic box office in 10 days, the movie is gaining on After Earth‘s $60 million lifetime haul. Directed by M. Night Shyamalan, the 2013 film was also a family drama set against the backdrop of a dinosaur-dominated Earth. It also dealt a significant blow to Shyamalan’s status as a Hollywood A-lister, following the disappointing reception of a string of movies such as The Last Airbender, The Happening, and Lady in the Water. Starring Will Smith and Jaden Smith, After Earth holds a 12% score on Rotten Tomatoes, where the consensus reads, “After Earth is a dull, ploddingly paced exercise in sentimental sci-fi — and the latest setback for director M. Night Shyamalan’s once-promising career.” Globally, The End of Oak Street has grossed $85 million, having recouped its reported $80 million budget. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.
