New Stephen King Movie’s Box Office Falls Short of Another 2025 Adaptation (Despite Better Reviews)

Over its opening weekend, *The Long Walk* made $11.5 million in the US, landing it at number four in the box office rankings. While a solid start, it didn’t quite reach the $14 million debut of *The Monkey*, which premiered in February. This is a bit unexpected, as critics generally liked *The Long Walk* more. Both films have positive reviews on Rotten Tomatoes – *The Monkey* with a 77% rating, and *The Long Walk* also being ‘Certified Fresh’.
