His last wide North American theatrical release was Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald in 2018, which collected $62.1 million domestically. Before that, his 2015 releases included Black Mass, which opened to $22.6 million, and Mortdecai, which debuted with $4.2 million, both of which received largely unfavorable critical responses.
What does it mean for the film?
Ebenezer: A Christmas Carol does not appear to fit entirely into the adult-oriented action category represented by Violent Night, which opened to $13.4 million, and Silent Night, which debuted with $3 million. Both films launched in early December, in 2022 and 2023, respectively. As a result, Ebenezer occupies an unusual position between traditional family holiday entertainment and darker seasonal fare, making its eventual box office performance difficult to predict.
