Wicker box office: a $2.5m Sundance buy opens to $5.75m
By Fuzzy Mushroom · Published
Olivia Colman's fantasy romcom Wicker, where a lonely villager has a basketmaker weave her a husband (Alexander Skarsgard), opened fifth in the US with $5.75m from 1,471 cinemas. Black Bear bought it at Sundance for $2.5m, so it has already more than doubled that in three days. Deadline says the trailer took off after brands like IKEA Australia joined in with 'wicker husband' posts.
