This market will resolve according to how much "By Any Means" Opening Weekend Box Office will gross domestically on its opening weekend. The "Daily Box Office Performance" figures found on the "Box Office" tab on this movie's The Numbers (https://www.the-numbers.com/) page will be used to resolve this market once the values for the 3-day opening weekend (September 4 - 6) are final (i.e., not studio estimates). If the reported value falls exactly between two brackets, then this market will resolve to the higher range bracket. Please note, this market will resolve according to the The Numbers figures provided under Weekend Box Office Performance for the 3-day weekend (which typically includes Thursday's previews), regardless of whether domestic refers to only the USA, or to USA and Canada, etc. If there is ambiguity as to whether the resolution source's figures are final, this market will remain open until both https://www.boxofficemojo.com/ and https://www.the-numbers.com/ have confirmed their finalized figures. If there is no final data available by September 11, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, another credible resolution source will be chosen.
By Any Means opened in wide release on Labor Day weekend amid modest pre-release tracking and mixed early critical response, positioning its domestic debut in the mid-single-digit millions. The historical crime thriller from director Elegance Bratton pairs Mark Wahlberg’s established audience draw with Yahya Abdul-Mateen II in a story centered on a mafia hitman and FBI agent investigating civil rights-era murders, yet genre positioning and holiday timing have tempered expectations versus summer tentpoles. Limited visible marketing momentum and a competitive field that includes another new wide release further cap upside, while strong word-of-mouth or holiday family viewership could push it toward the higher end of the 5–7 million range. Traders are weighing these variables closely as actuals begin to post.
