Box office forecast: Johnny Depp's Ebenezer tracks for a $20M opening weekend in his big studio comeback
By Fuzzy Mushroom · Published
Ebenezer opens in the US this weekend with box office tracking pointing to an opening weekend of around $20M from 3,500+ cinemas, with a similar figure expected overseas. TheWrap reports a net budget of $38M but around $50M spent on marketing, so a modest start could still work for Paramount. It's Depp's first major studio lead since 2018, so this is his real test.
Will the Punters turn out for Depp's Scrooge, or is $20M already generous?
