Lucky? You want this movie to fail? What will you talk about then?

Witnesses does not make an appearance on the Domestic Box Office daily listings for June 11th, 12th or 13th, according to box office mojo.

Nor does it appear on the Weekend listing that covers 11-13th June.

It seems to have disappeared. Presumably it's just a delay in Box Office Mojo receiving the numbers.

It doesn't look good if the numbers aren't being reported.
Myth is misused by the powerful to subjugate the masses all too often.

I think there's a delay in reporting. The Numbers has posted estimated box office figures for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

Friday:

Gross: $35,000
Theaters: 84
Per Theater: $417
Total Gross: $286,159

Saturday:

Gross: $40,000
Theaters: 84
Per Theater: $476
Total Gross: $326,159

Sunday:

Gross: $25,000
Theaters: 84
Per Theater: $298
Total Gross: $351,159

Comments: I have doubts about the accuracy of these numbers. It doesn't seem plausible, for example, that the Sunday gross was $25,000. The previous Sunday's gross was $6,924.

By any standard....This movie is a FLOP. I imagine people walking out once they realize they've bought a ticket to a cult propaganda movie. Same as what happened with scientology's Battlefield Earth

Here's a similar film in the genre - "Genesis: Paradise Lost (2017)," an evangelical screed against evolution that was released in heart-pounding 3D!

https://www.boxofficemojo.com/release/rl1057326593/

$1,575,000 53 days/7 weeks 419 theaters

It also has a very high audience rating, and zero reviews from any professional critics.

So measured against even this tiny benchmark, Witnesses(2021) fails spectacularly.
