He-Man Had the Power. The Box Office Did Not.
Masters of the Universe opened to $29.43 million domestically on a $170 million budget, making it one of 2026’s most expensive box office failures. Three weeks into its run, the He-Man film has earned $104 million worldwide – well short of the break-even point. Nicholas Galitzine plays He-Man, Jared Leto plays Skeletor, and Travis Knight directed.
