Title: "Wonka" Surpasses $600 Million Worldwide at the Box Office
The fantasy musical "Wonka," featuring Timothée Chalamet as the eccentric chocolatier, has triumphed globally by surpassing $600 million at the box office. In 10 weeks since its release, the film has raked in $210 million in North America and $395.1 million internationally, leading to an impressive total of $604.9 million. Backed by Warner Bros., the $125 million-budgeted movie has stayed in the top five on domestic box office charts since its debut in December. Director Paul King's highest-grossing film to date, "Wonka" has benefited from Chalamet's star power and the enduring popularity of Roald Dahl's classic novel. The film explores the early days of Willy Wonka and boasts a star-studded cast including Olivia Colman, Keegan-Michael Key, and Hugh Grant. Warner Bros. Motion Picture Group executives Mike De Luca and Pamela Abdy expressed gratitude to audiences worldwide for embracing "Wonka" and turning it into an instant classic for a new generation. With "Dune: Part Two" set to release in March, the future of Chalamet's box office success remains promising.
