According to Hollywood’s major tracking outlet, the range for The Lost Kingdom is between $36 million and $44 million, though Warner Bros. is pushing for a $50+ million return during the four days.The Lost Kingdom goes into its holiday season premiere having been plagued with negative press since last year. Amber Heard, who plays Mera in The Lost Kingdom, has a reduced role in the sequel after starring prominently alongside Momoa’s central character in the original.
