Timothée Chalamet's latest film premiered on December 6th in theaters, and those 20-plus days have been enough for the box office to demonstrate how much they were looking forward to Chalamet's return in the role of Willy Wonka from the perspective of a prequel in the character's story.
A musical that works
In the midst of Christmas, with other premieres looming and at a time when some big proposals end up being real failures, Wonka has managed to find the sweetest path to a box office that has already exceeded 250 million dollars worldwide.
This is what the figures show in The Numbers, where domestic collection in the United States has reached a surprising figure of 102 million dollars, while the international collection, which has not disappointed either, amounts to 171 million dollars in the first two weekends. projection.
Let's remember that it's currently sharing the billboard with films like Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, Migration, Napoleon, The Color Purple , and Ferrari , which makes the feat even more remarkable.
The origin of Wonka
This new film directed by Paul King tells the story of Willy Wonka, the charismatic inventor, magician and chocolatier who managed to create the best chocolate factory in the world. Based on books by Roald Dahl, this musical tells the story of the work behind the factory that led its inventor to become the best chocolatier in the world.
A fundraiser with a long history
Apparently, films released in December tend to accumulate longer box-office receipts, so if this is what has been achieved in the first two weekends, it is normal that we will still see the numbers increase even more. Let's remember that Wonka was scheduled to be released months ago, but a series of delays made Warner decide to choose the Christmas season for the premiere. And it seems that they have got it right.
When can Wonka be seen streaming? Where?
By the time the film leaves theaters, this sweet musical will be seen in the Amazon Prime Video catalog, where it will most likely arrive next January (in the week of January 21) in the form of digital rental and purchase. It will be later when the streaming service offers it in its catalog with the subscription price.
