I, Frankenstein the Latest Comic Book Movie to Disappoint at the Box Office

Lionsgate’s Aaron Eckhardt-starring I, Frankenstein is on pace to come in at #5 or #6 at the domestic box office this weekend, bringing in less than $8 million on its $65 million production budget.That means the movie may not even crack the top five, with Ride Along, Lone Survivor, Frozen, The Nut Job and Jack Ryan :Shadow Recruit all in line to make more than the $7.75 million Deadline is projecting for the Stuart Beattie-directed horror film.That’s likely to establish it pretty firmly as the latest in a series of recent flops based on smaller comic books and graphic novels, in the company of sequels Kick-Ass 2 and RED 2 as well as the Dark Horse Comics adaptation R.I.P.D. and Sylvester Stallone’s Bullet to the Head.
