Directed by David Leitch, the film follows Gosling as a stuntman on a mission to find a missing movie star, played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson. Emily Blunt also stars as the director of the film and Gosling’s character’s ex-lover. The action-packed movie also features elements of romance and has received praise from critics with an 83 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes.

Universal Pictures has marketed “The Fall Guy” as a tribute to Hollywood and the stunt community, with a focus on the thrilling action sequences in the film. The movie is based on the 1980s TV show of the same name and has garnered attention for Gosling’s performance following his Oscar-nominated role in “Barbie” last summer.

In its second weekend, Amazon MGM Studios’ “Challengers” is holding strong with a projected second-place finish, while Sony’s Screen Gems horror feature “Tarot” is expected to come in fourth. Despite facing tough competition, “The Fall Guy” has made a significant impact at the box office and is poised to be a summer blockbuster hit.
