The Sheep Detectives added $2.8M on its tenth day, bringing the total to $29.7M. The Hugh Jackman-led family mystery comedy has struggled to maintain momentum after a relatively soft opening.
The film benefited from a strong voice cast and positive early reviews, but audience turnout has not matched expectations. At just 0.41x of its $82M budget, it is significantly behind where it needs to be for a comfortable recovery.
With bigger releases arriving next week, The Sheep Detectives will likely see its screens reduced further. Unless it manages to find a second wind through strong family word-of-mouth, its theatrical run appears headed toward an early conclusion.
Commercial concern: The film needs a much stronger hold over the next week to avoid finishing as a clear disappointment relative to its budget and cast.
