‘The Color Purple,’ the much-adored adaptation of the beloved novel and Broadway musical, exceeded expectations during its Christmas Day opening at the Box Office, securing an impressive $18 million from 3,152 North American theaters. The feat marks the largest Christmas Day opening since 2009 and the second-biggest in history.
As a result, Warner Bros. leads the domestic chart with the release of ‘Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom‘ and ‘Wonka,’ which occupy the second and third ranks, earning $10.5 million and $10.3 million, respectively, as of Monday, December 25th.
Directed by Blitz Bazawule and helmed by Warner Bros., ‘The Color Purple‘ stands out as a successful musical at the box office, surpassing recent stage-to-screen adaptations like ‘West Side Story,’ ‘In the Heights,’ and others, in a single day. With positive reviews and an “A” CinemaScore, the $100 million-budgeted musical is poised for continued success.
‘The Boys in the Boat,’ depicting the true story of the 1936 Olympic rowing team, earned a modest $5.7 million on its first day, despite mixed critical reviews. Audiences, giving it an “A” CinemaScore, showed enthusiasm, particularly among older females.
Furthermore, Michael Mann‘s sports biopic ‘Ferrari,’ starring Adam Driver, struggled with a $2.8 million debut from 2,325 venues, casting doubt on its ability to justify its $95 million budget.
