<P> Promo posters in the form of The Towering Inferno (1974) and Die Hard (1988) were created, referencing the stylistic links between those films and Skyscraper . </P> <P> Skyscraper is scheduled for digital release on September 25, 2018, and Blu - ray, DVD, Blu - ray 3D and 4K Blu - ray on October 9, 2018 . </P> <P> As of August 28, 2018, Skyscraper has grossed $67.2 million in the United States and Canada, and $225.9 million in other territories, for a total worldwide gross of $293.1 million, against a production budget of $125 million . </P> <P> In the United States and Canada, Skyscraper was released alongside the opening of Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation, as well as the wide expansion of Sorry to Bother You, and was initially projected to gross $32--40 million from 3,782 theaters in its opening weekend . However, after making $1.95 million during Thursday night screenings (down from the $2.4 million made by Johnson's Rampage the past April) and $9.3 million on its first day, weekend estimates were lowered to $24 million . The film ended up debuting to $24.9 million, finishing third, behind Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation and Ant - Man and the Wasp . Deadline Hollywood attributed the low figure to audiences having seen the plot before in other films and the July release date being in the height of the crowded summer movie season, as well as the possibility that filmgoers had become tired of seeing Johnson so frequently (although the site noted that 72% of people who bought tickets to Skyscraper did so because of him). In its second weekend the film made $11.4 million and finished sixth, and in its third made $5.4 million, finishing ninth . </P>
