Masters of the Universe film underperforms at box office, actor Dolph Lundgren disappointed

The live‑action "Masters of the Universe" has earned about $103 million worldwide against an estimated production budget of $170‑200 million, placing it in flop territory despite a 68% Rotten Tomatoes score and strong Amazon marketing.

Original He‑Man Dolph Lundgren, who appears in a cameo, told ComicBook that he was "a bit disappointed" by the results, noting that the movie performed better overseas but still fell short of expectations. Amazon hopes the franchise may find a larger audience on Prime Video, though a sequel would require convincing executives after the theatrical loss. The film’s ending hints at a future He‑Man/She‑Ra storyline, but no official continuation has been announced.
