Johnny Depp’s new studio film, “Ebenezer,” opens at number one at the North American box office, according to multiple outlets. The releases frame it as Depp’s first studio movie to reach the top in eight years, marking a return for the actor with a Christmas-themed adaptation of Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol.”
Variety reports an opening weekend of $19 million from 3,535 North American theaters and adds overseas performance of $23 million across 63 markets, for a cited global start of $42 million. IndieWire similarly describes the opening as modest, while The Independent and the Winnipeg Free Press both emphasise Depp’s No. 1 return after the eight-year stretch.
Overall, the sources agree on the headline result—“Ebenezer” opening at No. 1—and differ mainly in how much box-office detail they provide and whether they foreground Depp’s draw or the movie’s comparative performance.
