However, Power Rangers didn’t deliver the box office returns that Lionsgate and Saban were hoping it would – something that director Dean Israelite attributes in part to the PG-13 rating.
However, it looks as though Power Rangers may be finding a second shot at success, months after its initial U.S. theatrical release.
After all, while the film performing well in the home video sales is a comforting bit of success for it, there’s still the possibility of a sequel underperforming at the box office in a similar way as this year’s reboot did.
In addition, Power Rangers also grabbed the top spot in the weekly rentals, dethroning both Sony Pictures’ sci-fi horror flick, Life, and 20th Century Fox’s Logan.
