Winnie the Pooh: Blood & Honey's shocking opening box office weekend is a whopping 10 times its small budget, in spite of the film's critical panning.
Despite suffering a critical lashing, Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey has already become a box office hit. Inspired by the children's characters of the same name, the film revolves around Pooh and Piglet, turned feral after being abandoned by Christopher Robin, as they embark on a murder spree on a group of college students visiting the Hundred Acre Wood.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Though Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania dominated this weekend's box office, Deadline has brought word that Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey has become a box office hit. The film, which opened to mostly negative reviews from critics, garnered a solid $750k opening weekend haul, bumping it up to a $1.58 million gross in its first week of release.
Even prior to the film's release, Rhys Frake-Waterfield, the writer, director and producer behind Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey, seemed confident in its success, announcing plans for a sequel were already in the works. Frake-Waterfield is also looking to continue the success of his unique new horror subgenre with twisted takes on both Bambi and Peter Pan, the former of which he is just producing, though recently teased they could all be part of an interconnected universe.
Though Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey's theatrical release is limited to up to Thursday, February 23, its box office success points towards the genre's trend of hits continuing through the year.
