Johnny Depp's 'Ebenezer' Claims Box Office Top Spot With $19 Million Debut

Johnny Depp's return to the big screen in "Ebenezer," a dark reimagining of "A Christmas Carol," has landed the number one position at the domestic box office, earning $19 million over its opening weekend. The film, which garnered $6.7 million on its opening day Friday and $1.5 million from Thursday previews, is Depp's first major studio feature since 2018 and is being closely watched as a potential career resurgence.

While "Ebenezer" secured the top spot, its opening weekend earnings fell slightly below the higher projections of $20 million, with some analysts noting that moviegoers might be more cautious with their spending. The PG-13 adaptation directed by Ti West also generated $23 million internationally, bringing its global debut to $42 million. Meanwhile, fellow newcomers "Ghost Soldier" and "How to Rob a Bank" had quieter openings, with the latter struggling to make an impact.
