Overview

• The film opened Sept. 26 in premium large formats including VistaVision, 70mm, and IMAX across U.S. theaters.
• Weekend estimates put the launch at roughly $22 million domestic and $48 million global, topping the box office.
• It is Anderson’s biggest opening to date, buoyed by a near‑perfect critics’ score in the mid‑90s on Rotten Tomatoes and an A grade on CinemaScore.
• Industry coverage notes a reported $130–150 million production cost, raising questions about the runway to profitability.
• Starring Leonardo DiCaprio with Benicio del Toro and Sean Penn, the politically charged action‑satire is loosely inspired by Thomas Pynchon’s Vineland and benefited from Warner Bros.’ unconventional, festival‑skipping marketing push.
