Overview
- Warner Bros.’ release collected about $38 million in North America over the Presidents’ Day frame and $45 million overseas for $83 million worldwide, roughly matching its reported $80 million production budget.
- Women accounted for roughly three‑quarters of opening‑weekend buyers, while exit polls registered a B CinemaScore and only about half saying they would definitely recommend it.
- Key markets are still ahead, with Japan and Vietnam opening on Feb. 27 and China on Mar. 13, which analysts say will shape the film’s longer‑term profitability.
- Fennell and producer Margot Robbie opted for a theatrical rollout with Warner Bros. despite a reported $150 million Netflix offer, prioritizing a wide release and full marketing push.
- The campaign leaned on a high‑visibility press tour and a Charli XCX companion album as critical drivers, even as divided reviews, adaptation choices, and casting criticism fueled ongoing debate.
