Romantic fantasy Wicker earns $29 million worldwide

Wicker has earned $29 million worldwide since opening in theaters on the weekend of October 23.

The romantic fantasy stars Olivia Colman as an ostracized fisherwoman and Alexander Skarsgård as the husband created for her by a local basketmaker, played by Peter Dinklage.

The film cost a reported $10 million to make, and its earnings include $20 million in North America and $9 million internationally.

It has not fallen more than 24% in any single weekend, helping it keep audiences even as larger films compete for attention.

Wicker is on track to profit in theaters before video-on-demand and streaming income are counted.

Its success is a boost for distributor Black Bear, which has had several box-office setbacks.

The film remains in theaters, and its performance shows that a smaller, original movie can draw audiences without being part of a franchise.
