How much is the film tracking to earn on its opening weekend in North America?
The period drama has been generating strong buzz ahead of its North American release. With an unconventional premise, a viral trailer, and solid ratings, the indie movie is eyeing a promising debut at the North American box office. According to Deadline‘s latest report, Wicker is on track to earn around $5 million from 1,471 theaters across North America. While that may seem modest compared with major studio releases, it could represent a solid start for an independent film, especially for one targeting an adult audience.

The film’s theatrical prospects have been boosted by its viral trailer, which has attracted considerable online attention. The positive word surrounding the period drama could help it become a solid success at the box office. However, its ultimate success will depend on audience reception and its ability to maintain momentum in the weeks ahead.
What is the film about?
The film follows a reclusive fisherwoman in a small medieval farming town with a rigid social hierarchy and patriarchal traditions. Ostracized for her persistent fish smell and rejection of conventional marriage, she sarcastically commissions a husband made of Wicker after facing relentless mockery over her unmarried status. When the master weaver brings her unusual husband to life, his devotion and dedication spark an unexpectedly pure romance that throws the close-minded village into absolute chaos. Wicker will be released in the United States on October 23.
