Ebenezer 'A Christmas Carol' Adaptation
The adaptation of 'A Christmas Carol' is Jonny Depp's first major role in eight years. This gothic horror infused Christmas film had already opened to about $6.7 million in its first day. Now it has made back 110% of its $38 million budget in just 48 hours. This film grossed at $42M at the worldwide box office this opening weekend. With many critics saying that this is the actor's best performance yet.
Reviews and Receptions
The film blends Victorian settings with supernatural elements; something we are all familiar with when it comes to Charles Dickens classic Christmas story. What makes this adaption stand out is that there is a new prologue and plot twist. Like the bond Scrooge and Marley have. With that being said, critics have been split on this newest 'A Christmas Carol' adaption. Some praise Depp's performance and the atmospheric design, while others note of it being dull and lacking holiday spirit.
Furthermore, Ebenezer is generating buzz for its all-star cast, the gothic twist on a classic, Depp’s high-profile return, and how theatrical and streaming for the holiday season is set up. Which brings us to recent news of how Paramount has planned for there to be a 45-day theatrical window. Which means that streaming will be set December 28th. Though, a shorter window could push it for February 12, 2027.
