Zendaya and Robert Pattinson’s star power is working wonders for their rom-com at the North American box office. The film has recorded one of the biggest opening days among A24 releases. It is more notable because of the multiple tentpole movies it is facing at the cinemas. Keep scrolling for the box office numbers.
The movie is expected to exceed its initial projections on its opening weekend in North America. It reportedly has a much lower budget than its competitors, and thus, hitting break-even should not be hard for it with Pattinson and Zendaya’s combined star power. It has good ratings as well, which will also help the film earn strong box-office numbers.
