Wonka‘s global box office continues to climb, and the film has now soared past another major milestone. Directed by Paul King, the new film serves as a prequel to Roald Dahl’s beloved Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Timothée Chalamet leads the Wonka cast as the eponymous chocolatier in a story that chronicles one of his earliest adventures, before he became the figure of legend.
Now, Collider reports that Wonka’s box office worldwide sits at an impressive $400 million, comprising $147 million domestically and $253 million overseas. While there was initially some question regarding how the film would perform, the latest figures cement the project as a major success, contributing to a strong month for Warner Bros. more generally. Wonka‘s box office is poised to surpass the total global earnings of Chalamet’s other recent hit, Dune, which sits at $402 million.
