The Drama is steadily moving closer to a different box-office milestone in North America. The most recent rom-com is on the right track to surpass the domestic haul of an A24 horror, Midsommer, which was a big box office success. The horror drama caught attention for being a small-budget hit, a specialty of A24. As The Drama continues its run, its ability to challenge a cult favorite highlights its growing momentum on the box office. Keep scrolling for the numbers.
The Drama on the North American box office
The Zendaya starrer romantic comedy has collected $2.9 million on its second Friday on the domestic box office. It’s the Third-largest second Friday in A24’s history. The film’s collection has dropped by 55.6% from last Friday when it was released in theaters. It’s behind Marty Supreme’s $4.6 million and Civil War‘s $3.3 million second Friday collections. In eight days, the domestic total of the rom-com movie is $24.9 million.
Edges closer to beating Midsommer domestically
Ari Aster’s Midsommer, starring Florence Pugh, grossed 5.2x its modest budget. The Florence Pugh starrer collected $27.4 million on the domestic box office in its theatrical run. It was made on a $9 million budget, while The Drama carries a $28 million budget. The Zendaya starrer is around $3 million away from surpassing the domestic haul of Midsommer.
Surpassing Midsommar would mean The Drama has crossed a key indie box-office benchmark, proving strong word of mouth, solid endurance, and growing audience appeal—marking it as a notable success in its category.
The Drama is eyeing a powerful second weekend on the North American box office. In accordance with reports, The Drama collected $13.6 million on the overseas box office on its opening weekend, and the updated data has not yet been revealed. Adding the domestic and overseas box office totals, the rom-com’s worldwide collection stands at $38.5 million. It’s tracking to earn $8 million to $10 million on its second weekend in North America. Due to this fact, it should cross the $50 million milestone worldwide.
