In a surprising twist, “The Color Purple” was the belle of the box office ball, capturing audiences with its adaptation of the popular book and musical. This new version bagged up a cool $18 million from 3,152 North American theaters. So what’s the big deal? Well, thanks to these results, the film became the biggest Christmas Day opening since 2009 and the second largest in history.
And make no mistake, oh no! The competition wasn’t easy: “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom” and “Wonka,” were also trying to capture the audiences, but they ended up getting the second and third spots respectively, behind “The Color Purple.”
Fun fact: this is the first musical movie in a while to make a splash at the box office. Remember that it’s trendy to dislike this genre in today’s popular landscape, so “The Color Purple” becoming such a hit, especially during its opening on Christmas Day, just proves its star power.
