Napoleon‘s box office empire is collapsing. The movie is a historical epic directed by Ridley Scott that follows the rise and fall of French leader Napoleon Bonaparte (Joaquin Phoenix) and his complicated relationship with his first wife Empress Joséphine (Vanessa Kirby). It premiered midweek and ended up claiming the No. 1 spot on the worldwide box office chart over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend despite The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes outgrossing it in the U.S.
Per The Hollywood Reporter, the Napoleon box office has stumbled in its second weekend. It is projected to close Sunday with a 3-day total of $7.1 million at the domestic box office, a staggering drop of 66%. Though it was vying for fourth place with Trolls Band Together and Disney’s Wish, it ended up taking No. 6, falling off the domestic Top 5 chart completely.
