Elevation had a dismal opening weekend
Anthony Mackie’s film destroyed with its premiere
Anthony Mackie’s new film Elevation it turned out to be an incredibly bad opening weekend.

Our opinion on Elevação’s box office
Mackie probably won’t be harmed by this debut
Ultimately, this opening weekend probably won’t affect Anthony Mackieperspectives. Its small budget of $18 million means it could become profitable if it becomes a streaming hit, even if it fails to break even in theaters. Furthermore, the star is the leader of the next Captain America: Brave New Worldan MCU installment that admittedly takes place during an unstable period for the franchise, but looks set to make at least several hundred million dollars given the precedent set by the rest of the universe. That should put him back on solid ground as a bankable lead star.
