Overview
- The Ti West film Ebenezer opened in wide release on Friday, Nov. 13, 2026, marking Johnny Depp’s first major Hollywood studio role in about eight years.
- Early critical reaction is sharply divided, with the film sitting in the low‑50s percent positive range on Rotten Tomatoes based on initial reviews.
- Reviewers consistently praise the supporting cast and the film’s production design while noting West’s gothic, horror‑tinged tone gives the story a darker edge.
- Critics are split specifically over Depp’s performance, with some calling it a strong, physical return and others calling it overstated or distracting from the film’s strengths.
- Industry trackers forecast a modest opening near $20 million domestically and similar international returns, and executives say box‑office results this weekend will shape decisions about Depp’s future studio prospects and potential franchise opportunities.
