Overview
- The film earned $875,000 from six New York and Los Angeles theaters with 92 sold-out showings, averaging $145,933 per screen.
- That per-screen average is 2025’s best, A24’s all-time high, and the top platform result since La La Land in 2016, according to the studio.
- Critical reception is strong at 95% on Rotten Tomatoes, with exit polls citing excellent word-of-mouth and especially strong interest from younger audiences.
- Timothée Chalamet’s viral push—celebrity windbreakers, a blimp, Sphere advertising, and surprise screening appearances—helped drive awareness as presales set an A24 record.
- With a reported production budget near $70 million, industry projections suggest about $15 million for the four-day Christmas opening, highlighting uncertainty about how the platform success will translate wide.
