Jason Statham's 'Mutiny' opens Aug 21. Can it top $10 million domestically over its first weekend?

Jason Statham's action thriller 'Mutiny' opened to an estimated $7.5 million domestically over its Aug. 21-23 weekend, falling short of the $10 million threshold. The film debuted in sixth place from roughly 2,600 North American screens, well behind box-office leader 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day.'
The soft debut followed a widely reported streaming leak: a full-length copy of the R-rated film accidentally became available on Amazon Prime Video in the days before its theatrical release, a mishap that industry trackers and trade outlets cited as a likely drag on ticket sales. Despite the underwhelming opening, the film earned a B+ CinemaScore from opening-weekend audiences, indicating decent reception among those who did see it in theaters.
With a reported $40 million production budget, the muted domestic start raises questions about the film's path to profitability absent a strong overseas run or later streaming performance.
Predict Six's community had put a 58% chance on 'Mutiny' clearing $10 million; the film came in well under that mark.
