Timothée Chalamet wins the box office golden ticket as “Wonka” debuts to $39M
The pre-holiday box office is off to a sweet start, thanks to Timothée Chalamet's eccentric chocolatier, Wonka.awais
Wonka notably puts budding R&B star Chalamet’s musical skills to the test — but instead of rapping his way to an A+, Timmy T is channeling Gene Wilder as he milks giraffes, charms Oompa Loompas and whisks audiences into a world of pure imagination with his chocolate concoctions. The film also stars Hugh Grant, Olivia Colman, Sally Hawkins, Keegan-Michael Key, and Calah Lane.awais
Trailing behind in second place, The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes adds another $5.8 million to its now $145.2 million total ($300.5 globally). Yet another origin story, the film revitalizes the YA dystopia by showing the backstory of Coriolanus Snow, who will one day preside over Katniss Everdeen’s time in the arena.awais The Rachel Zegler vehicle is something of a musical itself, featuring folksy tunes with a not-so-subtle tinge of rebellion.
