The Kernel take
The Death of Robin Hood was not a limited or day-and-date streaming release masking a real audience -- it opened wide in roughly 1,762-1,782 domestic theaters on June 19, 2026, before collapsing 78.5% in its second weekend and dropping to just 25 theaters by its fourth (Box Office Mojo), a hold pattern typical of a wide release that failed to connect commercially. That commercial collapse sits alongside a genuinely mixed-to-positive critical reception (Metacritic score 60, "Mixed or Average", 51% positive across 35 reviews), so the box office weakness looks like an audience/marketing problem for an unconventional, bleak R-rated take on the legend rather than a reviews problem or a deliberately small release.
Director track record: Michael Sarnoski
The Death of Robin Hood (60) is Michael Sarnoski's lowest-scored film to date, 10 points below his 70.0-point average across three films — a comedown from Pig's acclaimed 82.
Lead track record: Hugh Jackman
The Death of Robin Hood (60) actually lands above Hugh Jackman's own 51.5-point average across 24 scored film roles — one of his better-reviewed performances, even as the film struggled commercially.
