Olivia Colman's 'Wicker' Breaks Records at North American Box Office
A New Milestone for 'Wicker'
The comedy-drama film 'Wicker', featuring Olivia Colman, has reached a remarkable achievement at the North American box office. Just under two weeks following its release on October 23, the movie has officially become the top-grossing film for Black Bear studio. It has surpassed previous records held by the studio, including the 2026 Jason Statham film 'Shelter', which had a domestic total of $12.8 million.
The film's success is attributed to a significant expansion in its theater presence. Initially launched in 1,471 locations during its first week, the film saw an increase of 900 additional theaters in its second week due to heightened audience interest. This trend was further highlighted by a robust performance on Discount Tuesday, where 'Wicker' earned $1.02 million, reflecting a 9.3% rise from the previous Tuesday, and secured the second position at the box office.
