Wicker North America Box Office: Set To Outgross Whalefall Despite A Massive Budget Gap!

Black Bear’s Wicker is impressing everyone with its solid box-office performance. It is putting other Hollywood films to shame. The adult comedy starring Olivia Colman and Alexander Skarsgård is now on track to beat the theatrical run of Josh Brolin and Austin Abrams’ starrer survival thriller, Whalefall. Both the films are book adaptations as well. Keep scrolling for the numbers.

Wicker’s box office total in North America to date

The Olivia Colman starrer is winning hearts at the North American box office with its raunchy yet heartfelt content. It collected $671.8k on its second Monday at the domestic box office, up 0.1% from last Monday. It has a more niche audience, and this past weekend the film became Black Bear’s biggest domestic hit of the year, beating Shelter. After 11 days, the box office total of the R-rated comedy drama is $14.2 million in North America.

Wicker is inches away from beating Whalefall

Whalefall is a movie directed by Brian Duffield based on the 2023 novel of the same name. The survival thriller is having an underwhelming run at the box office owing to the mixed reviews. It has disappeared among other releases. According to Box Office Mojo, the Josh Brolin starrer survival thriller collected $16.7 million so far at the North American box office against a budget of $60 million. It is still running in theaters.

Meanwhile, Wicker was released just a week after Whalefall. It is already catching up with the survival thriller. Wicker is based on the short story The Wicker Husband and had a budget of only $10 million. It is now less than $5 million away from outperforming the Josh Brolin starrer movie and climbing the box office chart for 2026. It will be a notable win because of the $50 million budget gap, thus giving hope to small-budget filmmakers.
