Napoleon is one of the most popular historical epics to hit the theaters this year, and the box office numbers reflect its enormous success. Ridley Scott’s latest film crossed the $200 million mark at the global box office and its reign continues after a full month in the theaters.
Napoleon knocked it out of the parks as soon as it hit the theaters, and grossed $78.8 million globally across its five-day opening frame, including $46.3 million from the international box office. It exceeded expectations during its opening weekend, and its box office numbers are looking well, even a month later.
Napoleon hit the theatres on November 23, and it took it about a month to reach the $200.7 million mark, including $141.1 million from the international box office and $59.6 million grossed domestically. By doing so, the film finally broke even given its $200 million budget, but on-demand rentals and Apple TV+ subscriptions will also be a significant part of its revenue stream.
Ridley Scott’s historical epic chronicles Napoleon’s rise to power and his complicated relationship with his wife Joséphine. In addition to Joaquin Phoenix and Vanessa Kirby in the lead roles, the film also stars Tahar Rahim, Rupert Everett, Ben Miles, Ludivine Sagnier, and Matthew Needham.
