The film, featuring an all-star cast including Alexander Skarsgård, Margot Robbie, Samuel L. Jackson and Christopher Waltz, was previously thought to gross little more than $35 million from 3,651 cinemas.
As reported earlier this week, things aren’t looking particularly bright over at the US box office; both $100+ million budget The BFG and The Legend of Tarzan are expected to flop in cinemas despite being directed by Steven Spielberg and David Yates, respectively.
However, there’s finally some good news surrounding The Legend of Tarzan.
The audience attending Tarzan is also quite interesting; 51% female, 55% over 35-years-old, while only 18% under 18 -years old, a much more adult audience than previously expected.
