The newest video game movie, Assassin’s Creed, opened on Tuesday night with previews that started at theaters across the US at 7 PM. Deadline reports that the film pulled in $1.35 million from 2,470 theaters from those early showings.
Assassin’s Creed officially debuts today, December 21. We’ll report back with day-one box office figures for the film as they become available, while you can keep checking back with GameSpot to find out how the film fares at the box office through the week and into the weekend.
The $1.35 million that Assassin’s Creed made for its Tuesday preview was slightly ahead of Sony’s Christ Pratt/Jennifer Lawrence space-travel movie, Passengers, which made $1.2 million at 2,400 locations. Previews for Passengers also started at 7 PM on Tuesday, with the wide release slate for today.
According to Deadline, Assassin’s Creed is expected to make between $30 million and $35 million over its first six days. Again, all of these numbers are for the US box office only.
