Amazon MGM’s recent biopic, Sarah’s Oil, is performing higher than many expected. The film, led by Zachary Levi, Bridget Reagan, and Naya Desir-Johnson, has pulled in greater than $1 million in two successive weekends since its release, even while facing intense competition from recent and older titles still lively in theatres.
Sarah’s Oil Box Office Performance
Made on a modest budget of $18 million, Sarah’s Oil arrived on November 7 alongside Predator: Badlands, Nuremberg, Die My Love, and Christy. After 10 days, its domestic total in the US has climbed past $8.6 million (per Box Office Mojo), while it’s playing in greater than 2,400 theaters nationwide.
The movie opened with $1.7 million on its first day and held a spot in the highest three titles within the US every day charts. Nevertheless, it finished its debut weekend at number 4 with greater than $4.2 million.
The second weekend saw a moderate 45% drop, with the film earning greater than $2.3 million. The theatre count remained regular, with a median of $971 per theatre. The every day rating slipped to number six after several recent releases arrived on Friday, yet the movie still collected greater than $651K that day, with an increase of nearly 112% from yesterday’s $307K. Saturday stayed near the million-dollar mark, and Sunday added greater than $707K.
Sarah’s Oil Enters Top 100 Domestic Movies Of The Yr
It’s unlikely that Sarah’s Oil will cross the million-dollar mark again in a single day or in an entire weekend. Even so, the film has entered the highest 100 highest-grossing domestic movies of the yr and currently sits at number 97, placed slightly below The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie (as per Box Office Mojo).
Surpasses Margot Robbie’s A Big Daring Beautiful Journey
Sarah’s Oil has also edged past Margot Robbie’s first theatrical release of 2025 after her billion-dollar Barbie success. Her romantic drama A Big Daring Beautiful Journey, which also featured Colin Farrell, changed into considered one of the yr’s major box office disappointments, acting on similar lines to Dwayne Johnson’s The Smashing Machine. A Big, Daring, Beautiful Journey grossed just over $6.5 million domestically and ultimately ended with a worldwide total of around $21.9 million.
While surpassing that milestone is a small win for Sarah’s Oil, the film should still fall in need of covering its $18 million budget through theatres alone. Once it reaches Prime Video, it is anticipated to recuperate its remaining costs, following the pattern of many recent big-screen underperformers that find their footing on streaming platforms.
