He-Man film 'Mestres do Universo' sees weak box office despite three post‑credits scenes

Sony Pictures’ live‑action ‘Mestres do Universo’ debuted with a projected opening of under $50 million, far below expectations for its $170 million budget, prompting analysts to label it one of the year’s biggest commercial failures. In the United Kingdom the movie opened third, trailing the releases ‘Backrooms’ and ‘Obsessão’, underscoring its difficulty attracting wide audiences.

The film includes three separate post‑credits scenes. The first shows the classic cartoon character Gorpo delivering a moral lesson. The second, placed mid‑credits, features Queen Marlena and Duncan discussing a future return to Eternia and reveals the Sword of Protection, hinting that She‑Ra (Adora) will be central to any sequel. The final scene after the credits shows Maligna finding the decapitated skull of the villain Skeleton and delivering a sarcastic remark.
