David Harbour (“Stranger Things”) is Santa Claus in Tommy Wirkola‘s action-thriller Violent Night, which came down the chimney courtesy of Universal Pictures this past weekend. The film dishes out holiday beatings and has been embraced by critics and genre diehards alike for its punishing new take on Santa, a sort of unholy fusion of Bad Santa and Die Hard.
How well is Violent Night performing at the box office? The film opened in 3,682 theaters and stuffed 13.3 million into its sack across its opening weekend at the domestic box office.
Worldwide, Violent Night opened to a solid 20,355,000. The film’s reported production budget was 20 million, so Universal is hoping it has legs throughout the December holiday season.
Meagan writes in her review for Bd, “Director Tommy Wirkola (Dead Snow) infuses his gore-soaked sense of humor into an amalgamation of familiar holiday fare, ushering a new crowd-pleasing Christmas-set actioner eager to splatter the snow red.
