Question: What was the gross of Serenity?

Serenity (2019 film)

Main Page
Serenity is a 2019 American thriller film written, produced and directed by Steven Knight. The film stars Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Diane Lane, Jason Clarke, Djimon Hounsou, and Jeremy Strong, and follows a fishing boat captain who is approached by his ex-wife to murder her abusive new husband. First announced in January 2017, principal photography on the film began on the Island of Mauritius that July. 
Serenity was released in the United States on January 25, 2019, by Aviron Pictures. Critics were "unimpressed" with the film, lamenting the ludicrous twists, self-serious approach and poor script, although some said it had so-bad-it's-good qualities.[3]
Plot
The film takes place on a fishing island. Fisherman Baker Dill receives strange visions. Businessman Reid Miller is chasing after Baker with urgent news. Baker’s ex-wife Karen suddenly appears and tasks Baker with killing Frank, her abusive husband. Baker appears to have a telepathic connection with Patrick, the son he had with Karen, and through that decides to put aside his goal of catching a large tuna called “Justice” to help Karen and Patrick.
When Reid finds Baker, he explains he works as a fishing equipment company sales rep, and wants to give him a complimentary fish tracker. However Reid inadvertently reveals to Baker that he is a character in a video game Patrick is playing. The real Baker died during a war, and his son has reprogrammed a fishing video game to live out a fantasy of killing his abusive step-father. The digital Baker is communicating with Patrick through the game’s code. Digital Baker decides to follow his son’s wishes and kill the abusive step-father.
It turns out the scenes of Patrick playing the game were not flashbacks, but concurrent. Just after digital Baker kills the digital stepfather, Patrick picks up a knife to finally confront the real-life abusive step-father who has been beating his mother in the next room for years.

Production
On January 28, 2017, it was announced that Matthew McConaughey and Anne Hathaway would be starring in the "sexy noir" film, Serenity, which would be directed by Steven Knight from his own script, while Greg Shapiro and Guy Heeley would be producing the film through IM Global, which would also finance.[4] On April 18, Jason Clarke had joined the film to play Hathaway's character's rich husband.[5] On May 10, 2017, more cast was announced, including Uma Thurman to play McConaughey's character's love interest (although Thurman soon removed herself from the production due to scheduling conflicts), and Djimon Hounsou for an unspecified role.[6] In July 2017, confirmed cast was announced which included McConaughey, Hathaway, Clarke, Hounsou, Diane Lane (replacing Thurman), and Jeremy Strong.[7][8]
Principal photography on the film began late-July 2017 in Mauritius.[7][8]
Release
In February 2018, Aviron Pictures acquired distribution rights to the film.[9] The film was originally scheduled to be released on September 28, 2018,[10] but was later pushed back to October 19, 2018, and then again to January 25, 2019.[11]
Marketing
While films typically receive millions of dollars worth of promotion, it was reported that Serenity's distributor, Aviron, spent very little on advertising following poor test screenings. Some sources told Deadline Hollywood that "maybe only nine spots aired in obscure locales and not in any time slots that would have helped create awareness for the film" and that the film's stars and director were misled about the amount of junket and late night interviews they would be able to do to promote the film. In response, Aviron said in a statement: "As much as we love this film and still hope it finds its audience, we tested and retested the film — with audiences and critics alike — and sadly, the data demonstrated that the film was not going to be able to perform at our initial expectations, so we adjusted our budget and marketing tactics accordingly."[12]
Reception
Box office
In the United States and Canada, Serenity was released alongside The Kid Who Would Be King, and was initially projected to gross around $7 million from 2,561 theaters in its opening weekend.[13] The film made $1.6 million on its first day, including $250,000 from Thursday night previews, lowering estimates to $4 million. It ended up debuting $4.4 million, finishing eighth and marking the worst opening of Hathaway's career.[14]
Critical response
On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 23% based on 123 reviews, and an average rating of 4.1/10. The website's critical consensus reads, "A high-concept mystery with a twist, Serenity isn't what it appears to be at first -- unfortunately, it's also not anywhere near as clever or entertaining as it thinks."[15] On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 38 out of 100, based on 36 critics, indicating "generally unfavorable reviews".[16] Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "D+" on an A+ to F scale, while those at PostTrak gave it an "awful" overall positive score of 56% and an "atrocious" definite recommend rating of 34%.[14]
Christy Lemire of RogerEbert.com gave the film one star, calling it "terrible and insane" and writing: "Similar to Collateral Beauty and The Book of Henry – recent dramas with esteemed casts that went off the rails in enjoyably awful ways – Serenity is the kind of bonkers movie that truly must be seen to be believed".[17] The Hollywood Reporter's Todd McCarthy wrote, "Actors can usually have fun with such melodramatic roles, but Knight's stratagems serve to straitjacket the cast more than liberate it to diminishing returns as the climax remains an elusive vision on the horizon. Like a long fishing day without a bite, Serenity invites impatience rather than excited anticipation, and the eventual payoff provokes a big 'huh?'."[3] James Brotheridge of Exclaim! gave the film 5/10, writing: "The stakes and the connections between the actions among characters are unclear and confusing or, occasionally, don't seem to have a point."[18]
In his review for The New York Observer, Rex Reed stated that "The new year is not even a month old, but a hunk of junk called Serenity already qualifies as the worst film of 2019" and that "[a]t the critics' screening I attended, the audience was reduced to hysterics".[19] Michael O'Sullivan of The Washington Post wrote that "[t]he dialogue is bad, to the point of self-parody... The performances are cartoonish, especially that of Hathaway, whose femme fatale comes across as a kind of live-action Jessica Rabbit from Who Framed Roger Rabbit. And the scenario abounds with cliche and lazy shorthand."[3]
