The fantasy musical film is set to premiere next weekend in theatres across the United States on Saturday, December 16, along with 40 additional markets.
The Warner Bros. film had a successful international launch, making its way into 37 territories worldwide, including the United Kingdom, Mexico, Spain, and Germany. “Wonka’s” $11.1 million opening in the other nation ranks second for the studio this year; that is right behind “Barbie.”
‘Wonka’ Conquered Global Box Offices Yet Stumbled in China
Despite its Hollywood origin, “Wonka” only managed to gross $3.2 million in China. Warner Bros. Studios concluded that the possibility of cold fronts and flu breakouts around the nation may have dampened ticket sales.
The film’s launch in America and 40 other markets on the 16th has set Warner Bros. Studios to expect an opening in the $40 million range, based on projections internationally. Also, it intends to continue doing well right up until the holidays.
Wonka Cast
The film has a strong cast that includes Calah Lane, Keegan-Michael Key, Paterson Joseph, Matt Lucas, Mathew Baynton, Sally Hawkins, Rowan Atkinson, Jim Carter, and Olivia Colman, among the movie’s other stars, along with Timothée Chalamet and Hugh Grant.
Wonka Producers and Writers
Wonka is produced by Alexandra Derbyshire Luke Kelly and Devid Heyman, along with other executive producers, while Paul King is both a writer and director of the movie.
How Wonka does in the North American market is something to keep an eye on. Based on its international performance, it appears to be a sugar-filled smash that will dominate the holiday box office. How it does in the rankings is something we will have to wait and see.
