The movie 'Argylle' is facing a disappointing opening weekend at the box office, with predictions of underperformance despite being the #1 film in the nation with an $18 million debut. The movie's tie-in book was written by Tammy Cohen and Terry Hayes, dispelling rumors about the author's identity. The movie, backed by Apple and distributed by Universal, had a production cost of $200 million. Despite the disappointing performance, it managed to gross $35 million globally. The spy comedy is under scrutiny for its high production cost and lackluster box office performance.
Apple spent $200 million on #Agrylle, which opened to a disastrous $35 million at the global box office. Can Apple keep spending huge money on big screen gambles? https://t.co/pa5LO2V6jj

#Argylle Review: "As the film works its way up to a big, showy climax...It all starts to feel like one of those very expensive, very elaborate commercials for a pseudo-luxury product you don’t want to buy" https://t.co/3e6Z9zFeHB
Matthew Vaughn and Apple’s ‘Argylle’ bombs with $18M U.S. debut https://t.co/0F4bGizldi
The Beekeeper is an extraordinarily stupid movie that is sometimes smart about being stupid where the stupid is sometimes fun, but it does have a pretty strong close quarters fight towards the end. Statham has always had the goods when paired with a good choreographer.
Apple Films' ARGYLLE is the #1 film in the nation with $18M, however the costly wannabe blockbuster basically had theaters all to itself in an extremely depressed marketplace. That ain't good, folks. https://t.co/UFl0PUAdVd

Will the real Elly Conway please stand up? Oh, there’s two people? And they’re not Taylor Swift or JK Rowling? The real-life authors of ‘Argylle’ have been uncovered, hopefully, there aren’t any villains to follow. https://t.co/uUsZpaaeqM

The release of #Argylle came alongside confirmation that Elly Conway does not actually exist. The movie's tie-in book was written by established novelists Tammy Cohen and Terry Hayes. Argylle is on track to gross $16.5 million in its opening weekend. https://t.co/UWWDA2sE42
