The Drama, starring Zendaya and Robert Pattinson, is continuing a steady run at the box office. The film, directed by Kristoffer Borgli, earned USD 1.6 million on its Day 7, which was a Thursday. This was a small drop of 8 per cent compared to its Wednesday collection.
The film performed slightly better than Challengers, another film starring Zendaya, which earned USD 1.4 million on its first Thursday. However, when compared to other films produced by A24, its numbers were lower than Marty Supreme, which earned USD 4.5 million, and equal to Civil War, which earned USD 1.6 million on a similar day. Overall, The Drama has recorded the third highest first Thursday collection among A24 films in the United States.
After 7 days in theatres, the film has collected a total of USD 22.1 million at the US box office. The film was made on a budget of USD 28 million. Based on its current performance, it is moving in the right direction to recover its cost and possibly make a profit.
