The Whiplash the re-release made an impressive box office debut years after its release. The thriller drama is a 2014 film La La Land Director Damien Chazelle follows the story of a student drummer named Andrew who is under the intense tutelage of dominant band instructor Fletcher. Whiplash It is based on the director's own 18-minute short film from the previous year. Whiplash It was nominated for many Oscars, including Best Picture. He won Best Supporting Actor for JK Simmons' portrayal of Fletcher, and this weekend the film had a 10th anniversary re-release.
as Collider, Whiplash brought home decent box office returns during its re-release shows this weekend. The film grossed $578,000 domestically in its first three days. Played in approximately 695 local theaters, that total averaged more than $800 per theater.
What Whiplash's Total Meant at the Box Office This Weekend
Whiplash Has Tough Competition
Whiplash Made on an estimated budget of $3 million. During its release in 2014, the film earned nearly $50 million worldwide. This total represented a huge return for a fairly low-budget film, helping to give the film enough exposure to receive Oscar nominations and boost Chazelle's directorial career. That the film is still able to gross over half a million dollars in re-release on its 10th anniversary is a testament to the film's enduring cultural influence.
Whiplash's weekend box office numbers are particularly impressive given the competition. It has hit several major releases including the past box office weekend Transformers one and Never let goalso a well-reviewed body horror film Item. while Whiplash failed to make the weekend's top 10, the film ranked 10th. 15, which is pretty impressive for this reissue. He left such hits behind Twisters and 2 from the inside. While those two titles were good in their runs, being beaten by a re-release is still impressive.
