The action-comedy film 'The Fall Guy,' starring Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt, opened to an underwhelming $28.5 million, falling short of expectations for a summer blockbuster. Despite being the top film at the box office, the movie's performance was considered muted, especially given its $130 million budget. Critics have mixed feelings about the film, praising its entertainment value and stunt work, but noting its failure to impress as a blockbuster. Universal's misjudgment of the film's blockbuster potential is evident. The film is a tribute to stunt performers, with Gosling and Blunt advocating for the recognition of stunt work in cinema. The movie's global earnings reached $65 million, but it still did not meet the anticipated figures.

I can't believe Fall Guy is doing poorly at the box office. It's so good! It's exactly the kind of unpretentious, mildly silly, under-two-hours fun-time romp the world needs! And Gosling is so ludicrously charismatic! Go see it.

Though the film has strange pacing and is boring at times, “The Fall Guy” should be appreciated for its celebration of stuntpeople — who don’t nearly get the recognition they deserve for their highly skilled labor behind the scenes. https://t.co/QdxSUTHktU

If you did a survey of people who saw The Fall Guy I’d bet that a majority have no idea it was inspired by an old TV show of the same name. And if Universal thought that the TV show would provide some sort of brand awareness to boost the movie … well.

Some Box Office thoughts...The Fall Guy def disappointed domestically with just $28 million. Hoping it can have good word of mouth. Still think this is the sort of movie that would have done better in the hot summer. International may save it. Already at $65 mil global.

THE FALL GUY will be the fall guy for the summer movie season kickoff, as Universal's $130M pic didn't stick the landing, opening with an underwhelming $28.5M. Now that's solid for a rom-com action/comedy--not so much as the leadoff summer blockbuster. https://t.co/3lxDmF2VaC

THE FALL GUY: everything about this movie is good except the stunts. That fight in the apartment lasts 100 years and is boring. Watching a car flip over on the beach is not really impressive. Gosling and Blunt, though, are adorable. You should see it.
