The Fall Guy is a 2024 American action comedy film directed by David Leitch and written by Drew Pearce, loosely based on the 1980s TV series. The plot follows a stuntman (Ryan Gosling) working on his ex-girlfriend’s (Emily Blunt) directorial debut action film, only to find himself involved in a conspiracy surrounding the film’s lead actor (Aaron Taylor-Johnson). The cast also features Hannah Waddingham, Teresa Palmer, Stephanie Hsu, and Winston Duke.

The Fall Guy premiered at SXSW on March 12, 2024, and was released in the United States on May 3 by Universal Pictures. The film received generally positive reviews from critics, but was a box-office disappointment, grossing $174 million worldwide against a $125–150 million production budget.

As of July 2, 2024, The Fall Guy has grossed $91.1 million in the United States and Canada, and $83.7 million in other territories, for a worldwide total of $174.7 million. Variety estimated the film would need to gross $275–300 million in order to break even, and reported it would end up losing the studio $50–60 million.

In the United States and Canada, The Fall Guy was released alongside Tarot, and was projected to gross $30–35 million from 4,002 theaters in its opening weekend, with some rival studios estimating it could reach $40 million. The film made $10.5 million on its first day, including $3.15 million from preview screenings. It went on to underperform, but top the box office, debuting at $27.7 million. In its second weekend the film made $13.7 million (a drop of 51%), finishing second behind newcomer Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes.[48] Vulture reported: “The Fall Guy posted an admirable box-office hold. It dropped 50 percent in its second weekend, which is pretty great in our current, opening-weekend-focused era, especially considering that the film lost almost all its pricier premium screens to Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes.” It then made $8.9 million in its third weekend, finishing in fourth.
