The Controversial Rise of The Woman King: Box Office Success Amidst Backlash
Despite generating significant controversy and backlash from various communities, The Woman King has claimed the top spot at the box office this weekend. The film, starring Viola Davis, opened with a modest $19 million, a figure that might seem underwhelming compared to blockbuster standards but is notable given Hollywood's current low-competition landscape. With a production budget estimated at $50 million, analysts suggest the film needs around $125 million globally to break even and turn a profit. Whether it will reach that mark remains uncertain.
