\n\tWhile many of Hollywood\u2019s prestige pictures have struggled to find audiences this awards season, Russell Crowe\u2019s historical drama \u201cNuremberg<\/a>\u201d has quietly become a box office<\/a> success story.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Sony Pictures Classics release has grossed $46 million globally \u2014 a strong return that positions it as a hidden gem compared to several of its awards season competitors. \u201cThe Smashing Machine,\u201d starring Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt, despite some critical acclaim, has managed only $21.1 million worldwide, while higher-profile releases \u201cBugonia\u201d and \u201cThe Phoenician Scheme\u201d have barely crossed $40 million each. Of course, none of them come anywhere near the box office heights of \u201cMarty Supreme,\u201d which has earned $79.5 million globally. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cNuremberg\u201d has performed particularly well internationally, with overseas grosses already doubling its domestic box office haul. The film has earned more than $31 million overseas with major markets including France and Germany yet to open. In Italy alone, \u201cNuremberg\u201d has grossed more than $8 million, surpassing last years major awards contender \u201cConclave,\u201d which earned $6.9 million. The film also outperformed \u201cConclave\u201d in the Netherlands, Denmark, Poland, Greece, Portugal and Romania.<\/p>\n

\n\tDirected by James Vanderbilt, \u201cNuremberg\u201d follows U.S. Army psychiatrist Douglas Kelley (Rami Malek<\/a>) as he examines Hermann G\u00f6ring (Crowe) and other high-ranking Nazis during the historic war crimes trials. Crowe delivers what Variety<\/a> called a performance of \u201cconsummate command\u201d as Hitler\u2019s narcissistic second-in-command, complete with dialogue learned in German.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe film premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in September before its November theatrical release. Despite being largely overlooked during awards season, \u201cNuremberg\u201d has earned six spots on BAFTA longlists, including best film and leading actor for Crowe, plus two on the Academy Award shortlists. The two-and-a-half-hour drama maintains a 95% to 96% Rotten Tomatoes audience score and ranked as the second most popular movie on Amazon and Apple TV after its Dec. 23 premium video-on-demand release.<\/p>\n

\n\tWith France set to open at the end of January and Germany in April, \u201cNuremberg\u2019s\u201d global total is expected to continue growing. It\u2019s unclear, however, if those healthy ticket sales will translate into Oscar love when nominations are announced next week. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"While many of Hollywood\u2019s prestige pictures have struggled to find audiences this awards season, Russell Crowe\u2019s historical drama…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":237141,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[5784,156,409,111,139,11738,69,11739,140021],"class_list":{"0":"post-237140","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-box-office","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-movies","11":"tag-new-zealand","12":"tag-newzealand","13":"tag-nuremberg","14":"tag-nz","15":"tag-rami-malek","16":"tag-russel-crowe"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/237140","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=237140"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/237140\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/237141"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=237140"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=237140"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=237140"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
