The Northman had its world premiere in Stockholm at Rigoletto Cinema on March 28, 2022. It began theatrical release in some countries on April 13, 2022, and was released theatrically in the United States on April 22 to critical acclaim, with particular praise aimed at its direction, production values, and the performances of the cast. Despite this, it performed poorly at the box office, grossing $68 million worldwide against its $70–90 million production budget, though the film performed well on the VOD and DVD/Blu-ray markets.

with that budget the break-even would have been in the $150 million range at least. as well reviewed as it is by media and audiences alike, those kinds of financials are what kill non-franchise projects and why the Disney factory just keeps chugging along bigger and faster by the quarter.
