Hellboy was projected to bring in something in the neighborhood of $17 million, which wasn’t exactly a blockbuster movie number, but would have competed for the box office crown against Shazam!’s second weekend.
Finally, there’s the box office, which is the ultimate determination of a film’s success.
That wasn’t even enough to be the best new release for the weekend, as the comedy Little was able to do $15 million.
However, the film ended up doing a much poorer than expected $12 million.
