Ebenezer starring Johnny Depp is ruling at #1 on its opening day at the box office in North America. The movie has received positive word of mouth from the audience, but the opening-day collection is significantly lower than his previous big release, Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald. Keep scrolling for the deets.
The movie received an A- on CinemaScore, which is encouraging after a weak Thursday preview gross. It will rely on Johnny Depp’s star power to succeed at the box office. Luckily, the movie has a modest production budget, and if the odds are in its favor, it will even be profitable. It will recover most of its production cost in its opening weekend alone.
Ebenezer’s opening day gross at the North American box office
According to Box Office Mojo‘s report, Ebenezer landed at #1 in the box office rankings in North America. It collected $6.7 million on its opening day at the domestic box office, including $1.5 million from Thursday previews. It is again below Red One‘s $10.8 million and The Lost City’s $11.5 million Friday opening day gross.

How does it stack up against Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald’s opening day gross?
Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald collected $25.5 million on its opening day at the North American box office. This was before Depp was dropped from the Harry Potter spin-off film series following his loss in the libel case against British tabloid The Sun, which had described the actor as a “wife-beater.”
Ebenezer has collected almost 74% less than Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald’s opening-day collection. The Harry Potter spin-off movie collected $62.2 million on its opening weekend, and the film went on to collect $159.5 million in its lifetime run.
Opening weekend update
According to reports, Ebenezer is on track to earn between $17 million and $22 million over its three-day opening weekend. Again, compared to Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald’s $62.2 million opening weekend in North America. However, if the film emerges as a box-office success, it could help Depp regain his footing in Hollywood.
