Klara and the Sun box office: Sony shrinks the opening to 850 cinemas
By Fuzzy Mushroom · Published
Klara and the Sun is tracking a box office opening of about $2 million from roughly 850 North American cinemas this weekend, after Sony scaled back the release following reviews calling it "calamitous" and "confoundingly awful", Variety reports. World of Reel says the Taika Waititi film, starring Jenna Ortega and Amy Adams, had been set for more than 1,900 screens, and Box Office Theory forecasts $1.5 to $3.5 million. Sony made it for about $20 million, so the damage should be limited.
