'Wonka' Surpasses $500 Million in Global Box Office Sales

The musical prequel, starring Timothée Chalamet, becomes the highest-grossing movie based on Roald Dahl's classic children's book.

'Wonka', the musical prequel to Roald Dahl's classic children's book, has surpassed $500 million in global box office sales, making it the highest-grossing movie of the three based on the book.
The film, starring Timothée Chalamet, has outperformed 2005's 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory', which earned $475 million worldwide.
'Wonka' has been well-received by critics and audiences alike, with an 83% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
The film's success is particularly notable given its release during a crowded Christmas season and its competition with other high-profile releases.
Despite its success, a sequel to 'Wonka' has not yet been confirmed, although both Chalamet and director Paul King have expressed interest in continuing the story.
