Box office: Ebenezer leads Friday with $6.7M as How to Rob a Bank stumbles to about $2M
By Fuzzy Mushroom · Published
Johnny Depp's Ebenezer took $6.7M on Friday including Thursday previews from 3,535 North American cinemas, putting it on course for an opening weekend of just under $20M and the No. 1 spot. It has an A- CinemaScore, and half of the people buying tickets said Depp was the reason. The weekend's big stumble is Nicholas Hoult's How to Rob a Bank, which made around $2M on Friday and is heading for a $4M-$5M opening.
Ebenezer wins the weekend: is that a real Depp comeback, or just a quiet week at the box office?
