Deadline financial analysts state that the film lost the studio an estimated $40 million (though the studio, itself, asserts the film broke even). Given its $180 million production budget, it would have had to have earned at least $400 million to break even and justify a sequel . </P> <P> In the United States and Canada, The Legend of Tarzan opened alongside The BFG and The Purge: Election Year, and was projected to gross to $25--33 million in its opening weekend . It opened Friday, July 1, 2016 across 3,561 theaters and 6,700 screens, and grossed $14 million on its opening day, including $1.4 million in IMAX showings .

In its opening weekend, buoyed by positive word of mouth, the film grossed a better - than - expected $38.5 million, of which IMAX contributed $3.9 million, and $45.6 million over its four - day Independence Day holiday frame, finishing second place at the box office behind Finding Dory, but first among new releases . However, despite its opening numbers, Deadline.com called the film a "dud", due to its lofty budget . </P> <P> Internationally, The Legend of Tarzan received a scattered release pattern, in order to take advantage of the competitive landscape surrounding the 2016 European Championship .
