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.<\/p>\n

The film\u2019s collection has dropped by 55.6% from last Friday when it was released in theaters.
