The Color Purple Has $18M Christmas Day Opening

The Color Purpel came up big — much bigger than expected on its first day with an estimated $18.15M. The film surpassed all expectations that put its opening day gross between $8 million and $13 million

Not only was that haul enough for Color Purple to win Christmas Day ahead of Aquaman 2 ($10.6M) and Wonka ($10.3M), but it’s the biggest Christmas Day opening since 2009, and the second biggest Christmas Day opening after Warner Bros’ 2009 Sherlock Holmes ($24.6M).

The Color Purple is playing in theaters now and stars Fantasia Barrino, Taraji P. Henson, Danielle Brooks, Colman Domingo, Corey Hawkins, Phylicia Pearl Mpasi, Halle Bailey, Ciara, H.E.R., David Alan Grier, and Deon Cole.

The movie is directed by Blitz Bazawule and produced by several people including Oprah Winfrey, Alice Walker, Steven Spielberg, and Quincy Jones
