Klara and the Sun box office: Taika Waititi's robot drama opens to just $725,000
By Fuzzy Mushroom · Published
Sony's Klara and the Sun, Taika Waititi's take on Kazuo Ishiguro's novel with Jenna Ortega and Amy Adams, took about $725,000 from 880 US cinemas this weekend, missing the top 10. That's roughly $824 a cinema, after Sony had already scaled back the release following rough reviews. Variety notes the budget was a modest $20m, so the losses shouldn't be huge.
