Big, ambitious movies sometimes connect with audiences in a major way. Other times, they swing for the fences and miss. Unfortunately for Maggie Gyllenhaal’s 2026 movie schedule release, The Bride!, the latter may be what’s happening. And based on the film's opening weekend box office, it now looks like the film could lose millions.Inspired by the classic Bride of Frankenstein mythology, Gyllenhaal’s The Bride! debuted in theaters this past weekend, but the early box office numbers aren’t exactly encouraging. According to Deadline, the film opened to about $13.6 million worldwide, with only $7.3 million coming from domestic theaters. That’s a particularly rough start for a movie that reportedly cost around $80 million to produce, before marketing costs are factored in.Industry insiders suggest the film could ultimately lose close to $90 million during its initial release cycle, though the full financial picture won’t be clear until after home entertainment and streaming revenue are included. That’s a tough outcome for a movie that clearly aimed to do something different and has connected with a lot of folks who did see it. CinemaBlend’s own Nick Venable gave the movie an outstanding five-star review, going so far as to call it a masterpiece.
