Universal's new action-comedy film 'The Fall Guy,' starring Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt, opened at the top of the North American box office but fell short of expectations with a US$28.5M debut. Despite its high production budget of $130 million, the film's performance was considered underwhelming for a summer blockbuster's opening weekend. The movie, which is an ode to stunt performers, features Gosling and Blunt advocating for the inclusion of a stunt category at the Oscars. Internationally, 'The Fall Guy' has grossed $65 million, bringing its global total to $93.5 million.
