Well, thanks to these results, the film became the biggest Christmas Day opening since 2009 and the second largest in history.<\/p>\n<p>And make no mistake, oh no! The competition wasn&#8217;t easy: &#8220;<strong><em>Aquaman<\/em> and the Lost Kingdom<\/strong>&#8221; and &#8220;<em><strong>Wonka,<\/strong><\/em>&#8221; were also trying to capture the audiences, but they ended up getting the second and third spots respectively, behind &#8220;The Color Purple.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Fun fact: this is the first musical movie in a while to make a splash at the box office. Remember that it&#8217;s trendy to dislike this genre in today&#8217;s popular landscape, so &#8220;The Color Purple&#8221; becoming such a hit, especially during its opening on Christmas Day, just proves its star power.<\/p>\n<p>Catch the trailer here, and don&#8217;t miss this dazzling gleam in the cinema:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" hcb-fetch-image-from=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=wPwzBUui1GA&amp;ab_channel=WarnerBros.Pictures\" title=\"The Color Purple | Official Trailer\" width=\"1240\" height=\"698\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wPwzBUui1GA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a surprising twist, &#8220;The Color Purple&#8221; was the belle of the box office ball, capturing audiences with its adaptation of the popular book and musical.
