20th Century Studios' "The Call of the Wild" is expected to struggle at the box office this weekend against another family-friendly movie, "Sonic the Hedgehog."

Boxoffice.com is projecting it to earn 13 million at the domestic box office and Box Office Mojo is anticipating a 17.5 million opening.

Those are disappointing numbers for a movie that cost between 125 million and 150 million to produce, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

It would be the latest box-office misfire for 20th Century Studios, the studio formerly known as Fox, since the Disney-Fox merger last year.

20th Century Studios will likely have another box-office flop on its hands this weekend with Harrison Ford's "The Call of the Wild."

The studio formerly known as Fox has released a string of misfires since Disney closed its acquisition of it last year. Notably, Disney blamed a 170 million quarterly operating loss in Q3 2019 primarily on the X-Men bomb, "Dark Phoenix," which made just 253 million worldwide off of a 200 million production budget.See the rest of the story at Business InsiderNOW WATCH: Documentary filmmaker Ken Burns explains why country music is universalSee Also:Jennifer Lawrence is the latest superstar actor to make a Netflix movie, after a string of box-office flops'Parasite' is seeing a huge Oscar bump at the box office.
