\n\tEXCLUSIVE: Paul Thomas Anderson<\/a>\u2018s most commercial movie ever, One Battle After Another<\/a>, follows revolutionaries who are involved in freeing immigration encampments, robbing banks for their cause and dodging Sean Penn\u2019s nefarious Colonel Steven J. Lockjaw.<\/p>\n

\n\tSo, it comes as no surprise to hear that in regards to admissions for the Leonardo DiCaprio<\/a>-starring movie it overperformed in theaters located in blue counties (by 13%) and underperformed in red counties (by -24%), according to data from box office stat firm EntTelligence.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe comp here for One Battle After Another is R-rated non-horror movies.<\/p>\n

\n\tOne Battle After Another opened this past weekend to $22 million, a record opening for Anderson at the domestic box office; its global take was $48.3M). In also marked the 11th DiCaprio movie to open north of $20M stateside.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe overall percentage of admissions attending One Battle After Another were 72% in blue country cinemas, and 27% in red county ones. EntTelligence determines blue and red zones by how each county voted in the 2024 presidential election.<\/p>\n

\n\tNow, it should be noted that a majority of theaters, 53%, are located in blue counties, and yield 66.78% of overall movie ticket sales and 63.58% of cinema attendance.<\/p>\n

\n\tOn a Disney movie such as Snow White<\/a>, which had its own controversy among right-wingers, that title did overperform in red counties, despite seeing most of its business in blue, 56% to 44%. How\u2019s that? Because family movies generally do well in red areas, per EntTelligence.<\/p>\n

\n\tAs we told you, One Battle After Another, played well in big cities and EntTelligence data supports that stat, reporting that 51% of the movie\u2019s attendance were in areas with populations north of 1 million. One Battle After Another overperformed when compared to other non-horror R-rated movies in such areas by 14%. Among the cities where One Battle After Another overperformed were NYC (22% over the norm), San Francisco (+21%), Washington, DC (+26%) and Toronto (+61%). Two underperforming cities were Houston (-30%) and Dallas (-23%).<\/p>\n

\n\tIn 2015, Warner Bros had the Clint Eastwood-directed and Bradley Cooper-starring American Sniper, which became the former\u2019s highest-grossing movie at $350.1M domestic and $547.6M global. The movie, about Navy SEAL sniper Chris Kyle, has been referred to by distribution sources as the pic that rallied the heartland, but with a superhero box office trajectory.<\/p>\n

\n\tArguably, in the last decade, there hasn\u2019t been another right-wing-leaning tentpole that has played such box office levels.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"EXCLUSIVE: Paul Thomas Anderson\u2018s most commercial movie ever, One Battle After Another, follows revolutionaries who are involved in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":45646,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[9911,146,85,46,5433,397,5434,5435],"class_list":{"0":"post-45645","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-electionline","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-il","11":"tag-israel","12":"tag-leonardo-dicaprio","13":"tag-movies","14":"tag-one-battle-after-another","15":"tag-paul-thomas-anderson"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45645","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=45645"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45645\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/45646"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=45645"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=45645"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=45645"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
