Its earnings were out of this world.
“Masters of the Universe” was No. 1 at the box office on its opener Friday, raking in over $11.75 million, according to Box Office Mojo.
The flick, which The Post called a “kooky toy movie,” is based on the figures like He-Man and Skeletor, which Mattel released in the early ’80s.
“There are barbarians with battle axes and swords, robots with laser guns, spaceships, a warlock with a skull for a face,” its director, Travis Knight, told IndieWire.
“I do think it’s kind of tricky material. In the sense that, it’s weird. It’s almost deranged. It’s pure, uncut, Colombian-grade ‘80s excess. It’s completely out there.”
The sci-fi psychological horror “Backrooms” landed in second, with sales of over $7.97 million on its second Friday in theaters.
The Post praised the film, which follows an alcoholic furniture store owner who stumbles upon another dimension, as “disquieting and smart.”
In third was another horror movie, “Obsession,” which took in $7.47 million in revenue on its fourth Friday in theaters.
“The Amazing Digital Circus: The Last Act,” which is the final two episodes of the animated series “The Amazing Digital Circus,” took fourth, with just over a $4.3 million take.
“Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu” came in fifth, taking in $2.5 million on its third Friday in theaters.
The film, starring Pedro Pascal and Jeremy Allen White, is a continuation of the Disney+ series “The Mandalorian,” and was the franchise’s first release since 2019’s “Star Wars: Episode IX — The Rise of Skywalker.”
Directed by Jon Favreau, it reportedly cost $165 million to produce, and had the worst opening weekend since Disney purchased the franchise in 2012.
