An A24 film starring Zendaya has achieved a box office milestone that eluded her previous romance movie, Challengers. The new movie has crossed the $100 million global threshold and is yet another hit in her filmography.<\/p>\n
The Drama becomes fifth A24 movie to cross major milestone, beats Challengers<\/p>\n
The Drama, a romance feature from writer-director Kristoffer Borgli, has crossed $100 million worldwide (via Deadline<\/a>). The milestone places it among an exclusive group of A24 titles. It joins Marty Supreme ($181 million), Everything Everywhere All at Once ($148 million), Civil War ($127 million), and The Materialists ($108 million).<\/p>\n The Drama\u2019s global total now exceeds the final worldwide total of Zendaya\u2019s Challengers. The latter ended its theatrical run with $96.1 million globally, with $50.1 million domestic and $46 million international (via Box Office Mojo<\/a>).<\/p>\n Produced by Ari Aster, Lars Knudsen, and Tyler Campellone, The Drama was made with a net budget of $28 million. It does not present a conventional romance narrative. The movie is broadly about whether one can accept the person they fell in love with or let their past mar the couple\u2019s present.<\/p>\n After impeccable marketing and star cast camaraderie, the film opened<\/a> to $14.3 million domestically, a figure comparable to Challengers\u2019 $15 million domestic start, and an initial $28 million worldwide. Current running totals stand at $40 million stateside and $60 million from international markets.<\/p>\n In terms of international performance, The Drama recorded the highest opening for an A24 production in the United Kingdom at $2.8 million. It has a current cumulative total of $10.6 million in that territory. The film also secured the second-best debut for an A24 title in France at $1.8 million. This figure only trails Marty Supreme, with a total gross of $5.3 million. In Italy, the opening of $1.4 million represented the second-highest bow for the studio in that market.<\/p>\n Audience data provided by A24 indicates a demographic tilt toward women (60%) and viewers under the age of 35 (80%). Furthermore, polling suggests that 80% of attendees purchased tickets specifically to see both Zendaya and Robert Pattinson.<\/p>\n Originally reported by Devanshi Basu on\u00a0ComingSoon<\/a>.<\/p>\n The post Zendaya\u2019s Latest Movie Does What Challengers Couldn\u2019t<\/a> appeared first on Mandatory<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"An A24 film starring Zendaya has achieved a box office milestone that eluded her previous romance movie, Challengers.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":544753,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[187646,96,106692,2839,56,54,55,24489],"class_list":{"0":"post-544752","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-challengers","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-marty-supreme","11":"tag-movies","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom","14":"tag-unitedkingdom","15":"tag-zendaya"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/544752","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=544752"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/544752\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/544753"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=544752"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=544752"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=544752"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
