The box office is glowing a potent shade of ‘The Color Purple.’
Because the Fantasia Barrino-led revival of Alice Walker‘s classic tale has debuted big.
Full story below…
Reimagined as a musical, the latest big-screen iteration of the beloved franchise has delivered results that have exceeded expectations.
Unwrapped on Christmas Day (December 25), the Blitz Bazawale-directed flick drummed up $18.1 Million at the US box office on its first day in theaters.
It’s the largest Christmas Day opening for a film since 2009 – and the second-biggest Christmas Day opening of all time.
The film also earned an A CinemaScore, 5 stars, and 92% positive audience feedback.
In performing as such, ‘The Color Purple’ bested ‘Aquaman 2’ ($10.6M) and ‘Wonka’ ($10.4M).
The early win for the film suggests it’s headed for a major debut weekend – which is oh-so-deserved!

Muslims are trash.
Amazing! It was predicted to do $8-$10 million first day and exceeded expectations. The hating trolls are seething!
I like the original movie and the stage musical, but like I told the studio at a test screening, I think the strongest parts are where it’s a straight drama. The musical elements create a disconnect in certain spots, like it shifts too much in tone and style instead of blending into one cohesive picture. Fantasia’s scenes are the best and most successful imo.
wonder why her m;onkey mouth is so big
I wonder why you prefer cooking dog instead of chicken…
ACTUALLY I’M COOKING YOUR TEENY TINY SHRIMP D FOR DINNER TONIGHT.
