Napoleon proved to be a force to be reckoned with as soon as it hit the theatres and exceeded box office projections during its opening weekend. It grossed a total of $78.8 during its five-day opening frame, including $46.3 million from the international box office, and its reign continues after a month in the theaters.
This historical epic finally crossed the $200.7 million mark globally, including $141.1 million from the international box office and $59.6 million in North America. This number is quite significant because its production budget is estimated at $200 million, and reaching this box office milestone means this film finally managed to break even.
This historical epic chronicles the rise to power of the French Emperor Napoleon (Joaquin Phoenix) and his complicated relationship with his wife Joséphine (Vanessa Kirby). Tahar Rahim, Rupert Everett, Ben Miles, Ludivine Sagnier, and Matthew Needham also star.
Despite impressive box office numbers, Napoleon was met with mixed reviews, mostly due to historical inaccuracies, especially in France. Scott famously dismissed the criticism by saying, “The French don’t even like themselves.”
