Amazon MGM’s new PG-13 western biographical drama, Sarah’s Oil, starring Zachary Levi, witnessed a lukewarm start in the US. The film had a small production budget of $18 million and showed impressive numbers on the opening weekend. However, the numbers still suggest that even this modest cost might be difficult to recover through its theatrical run.
Sarah’s Oil Box Office: Opening Day & Weekend Performance
The film collected $4.4 million over its first weekend after being released in more than 2,400 theatres across the country. Released on Friday, November 7, 2025, alongside Predator: Badlands, Nuremberg, Christy, and Die My Love, the film earned $1.7 million on its opening day, placing third in the daily charts. The following days showed a decline as it dropped to fourth place, with $1.5 million on Saturday and $1.2 million on Sunday.
With an average of about $1,800 per theatre, the performance is slightly better than what many expected, but the low budget still hangs over the movie’s financial outlook. The box office trend so far suggests a short run, unless strong word of mouth gives it a lift in the coming weeks.
