'Violent Night' has passed $55 million at the global box office.
Universal’s action comedy Violent Night added $2.3 million from international territories this weekend for a running offshore total of $20 million. With around $5 million this weekend at the stateside box office, the film has made around $35 million domestically, for a global haul of $55 million.
Starring David Harbour as a Viking-inspired Santa Claus, the film received a solid B+ CinemaScore from opening day crowds, which has certainly helped it perform at the box office for over two weeks now. The film has surpassed fellow Universal action-comedy Nobody in 46 markets, with Germany and France the latest to do so. Starring Bob Odenkirk, Nobody was modeled on the John Wick franchise, and concluded its global run with over $57 million against a reported budget of $16 million.
Violent Night will overtake Nobody’s global haul in a matter of days, and should end up making a nice little chunk of change for Universal. The studio made the wise decision to release the film in theaters, and will be looking forward to its digital debut — it has all the makings of a future cult classic.
The film also stars John Leguizamo as Scrooge, the leader of the mercenaries; Alex Hassell as Jason Lightstone; Alexis Louder as Jason’s estranged wife, Linda, and Leah Brady as their daughter, Trudy, who forms a heartfelt bond with Santa and provides him with vital assistance as he attempts to dispatch the intruders. Edi Patterson plays Alva Lightstone; Cam Gigandet plays Morgan Lightstone and Beverly D’Angelo stars as the imperious Lightstone matriarch, Gertrude.
