It declined by 64.7% from last weekend owing to the loss of 1,125 screens in North America. The movie is running on only 857 screens in its home territory.

Can it beat Civil War as the 3rd-highest-grossing A24 release ever?
According to the report, The Drama has beaten the worldwide haul of Materialists a few days ago and has become the all-time 4th-highest-grossing A24 movie. For the record, Materialists collected $107.9 million in its global lifetime. The Drama now eyes the global total of Civil War to break into A24’s top three grossers. According to the report, the romance comedy is tracking to gross between $120 million and $130 million worldwide.
If it lands at the higher end of the projected range, it could surpass the global haul of Civil War. The Drama is still about $11 million away from surpassing Civil War, and with the dominance of big-studio films, it might be a difficult journey for it to achieve this feat. To top it all off, the film is now available on digital platforms for rent or purchase.
