Iron Claw Box Office Passes Rare Milestone For R-Rated Movie

The Iron Claw has scored an important achievement for an R-rated movie. The new A24 drama, which was written and directed by Sean Durkin, follows the steep rise and tragic fall of the wrestling dynasty of the Von Erich brothers in the 1980s. The cast includes Zac Efron as Kevin Von Erich, Jeremy Allen White as Kerry Von Erich, and Harris Dickinson as David Von Erich, alongside Maura Tierney, Lily James, Stanley Simons, and Holt McCallany.

Per Variety, the The Iron Claw release has reached a total of $24.3 million at the domestic box office by the end of its third weekend in theaters. This makes it a rare R-rated movie to cross the $20 million milestone in North America. It is also the third R-rated movie put out by A24 in 2023 to pass that benchmark, after the horror movie Talk to Me ($48.3 million) and Sofia Coppola’s Priscilla Presley biopic Priscilla ($20.9 million), which it has already surpassed.
