Adaptation Leads the Box Office
Paramount's Ebenezer opened in North America on November 13. Figures
reported on November 14 show the film earning $1.5 million in Thursday
previews and $6.7 million on its opening Friday including previews,
from 3,535 theaters.
Industry tracking points to a domestic opening weekend of $18 million
to $20 million, with Paramount estimating $20 million. The film is
expected to add roughly $20 million from 63 international markets, for
a worldwide opening of about $40 million.
The film received an A-minus CinemaScore, and PostTrak polling found
65 percent of viewers would definitely recommend it.
Ebenezer is adapted from Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol. It is
directed by Ti West, written by Nathaniel Halpern and stars Johnny
Depp as Scrooge. The film is rated PG-13 and runs 116 minutes.
The production budget was reported at $38 million, with a reported
marketing spend of $50 million. The overall North American market for
the weekend is estimated at about $80 million.
A first-place finish would give Johnny Depp his first No. 1 opening
since Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald in 2018.
