On September 25, 2016[update], The Magnificent Seven has grossed $37.3 million in North America and $27.3 million in other territories for a worldwide total of $58.6 million. The film had a global 2D IMAX ceremony marking of $4.3 million from over 606 theaters around the globe.
In the United States and Canada, The Magnificent Seven opened close with Storks, and was estimated to open to around $30 million, with some estimates going as high as $50 million, which would make it one of the greatest September debuts of all-time. The film opened in 3,674 theaters, including having the benefit of playing in all IMAX theaters for one week and a number of premium large formats and D-Box screens. It made $1.75 million from Thursday previews and $12.7 million on its first day. The film went on to gross $35.7 million in its opening weekend of which $2.9 million came from 372 IMAX theaters and managed to top the box office and scored the third biggest Western openers (not accounting for inflation), behind Rango ($38.1 million) and Cowboys & Aliens ($36.4 million). It is also director Fuqua's second biggest opening and Washington's third biggest.
the film was released in theaters at a time when the Western genre had been struggling to attract wide audiences and accrue lucrative revenues, as it has shown considerable downfall in interest among patrons since the 1970s. The genre has had several recent box office flops such as The Lone Ranger (2013) and Cowboys & Aliens(2011), but has also found success in films like Django Unchained (2012) and True Grit (2010).
It's strong debut in North America was partly attributed to the presence of Denzel Washington which industry analysts says is one of only a handful of movie stars today who consistently draws large audiences to theaters, and also to Fuqua's direction. Deadline.com pointed out that the production budget of films also plays an important role in determining a film's success.
By comparison to other recent Western films, The Magnificent cost $90 million to make before promotion and marketing costs are included and the site pointed out that "the trick is keeping their budgets reasonable", unlike The Lone Ranger which cost a hefty $215 million to make and Cowboys & Aliens cost $163 million. It became a financial recover for MGM after it loss a great deal of money with Ben-Hur the previous month and became the studio's second hit of the year following Me Before You released in June of this year.
Internationally, the film is projected to make around $100 million with foreign box office prognosticators expecting a similar $101.6 million total of The Hateful Eight. It was released in South Korea (the first market worldwide) on September 14, 2016 and delivered an opening of $5.1 million, finishing in third place at the box office behind local film The Age of Shadows and Hollywood tent pole Ben-Hur. Internationally, it will next open in the United Kingdom and Ireland, Germany, Spain, and Russia. The following weekend, the film expanded to 62 markets and grossed $19.2 million from 63 markets (including Korea). IMAX made up $1.4 million from 234 theaters.
It opened in first place in Russia ($1.8 million) Spain ($1.1 million) and Malaysia ($560,000) and second in the United Kingdom and Ireland ($2.6 million), Germany ($1.4 million) and Brazil ($1.1 million). It is yet to open in France and Australia this week while a release in China is not yet determined.
