$18.15 million! That’s how much The Color Purple made after only being out ONE DAY over the holiday weekend!
The film had the best Christmas Day opening since 2009 and the second-best Christmas Day opening of all time. It outperformed expectations and got a glowing “A” grade from CinemaScore.
And even though Jason Momoa’s Aquaman sequel still won the top spot for the total weekend box office tally, it took 4 days for it to make only twice as much as The Color Purple made in one day. And Aquaman’s budget of $205-215 million is over twice what it cost to make The Color Purple.
So that means TCP is looking like a really good investment… and some of the best entertainment you’ll find this week! I can't recommend it any higher... I LOVED it and I think you will too!
