Rebecca Rubin Film and Media Reporter Martin Scorsese‘s star-studded crime epic “Killers of the Flower Moon” impressed in its box office debut, collecting $23 million from 3,628 North American theaters over the weekend.
The film also brought in $21 million from 63 international territories for a global total of $44 million. Despite its second-place finish, it’s easily the best start of Scorsese career since 2010’s “Shutter Island” ($41 million debut), eclipsing the opening weekends of 2011’s “Hugo” ($11 million debut), 2013’s “The Wolf of Wall Street” ($18.3 million debut), 2016’s “Silence” ($7.1 million in its entire domestic run) and 2019’s “The Irishman” (which had a token theatrical release before landing on Netflix).
And “Killers of the Flower Moon” managed to make a splash even though its stars, Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro, haven’t been able to promote the film amid the ongoing actors’ strike.
Even with its daunting three-and-a-half-hour runtime, the R-rated “Killers of the Flower Moon” has been embraced by moviegoers (landing an “A-” CinemaScore) and critics (92% on Rotten Tomatoes), which is a good sign for the remainder of its theatrical run.
