奥利维娅·科尔曼奇幻爱情片《Wicker》首周末票房570万美元居第五，黑熊影业迎来自主发行以来首个卖座片
据Box Office Mojo数据，在10月23日至25日周末北美票房榜上，由奥斯卡影后奥利维娅·科尔曼（Olivia Colman）主演的奇幻爱情片《Wicker》以1,471家影院、570万美元的首周末票房位列第五，成为当周开画成绩最好的新片之一，也为发行方黑熊影业（Black Bear）带来了其自主发行以来的首个明确卖座片。
黑熊影业此前以制作与融资见长，今年起开始在北美自主发行自家影片，但先前几部作品票房接连失利。《Wicker》在电影节放映与前期宣传中积累的口碑最终转化为票房：科尔曼的号召力、奇幻加爱情的类型组合，以及中等规模影院数带来的高上座率，共同促成这一成绩。部分票房榜单初版估算为580万美元，Box Office Mojo的统计数字为570万美元。
这部影片的走势也将检验黑熊影业的发行模式能否持续。该公司2027年片单包括盖·里奇的新作与大卫·雷奇执导的《Jason Statham Stole My Bike》，若《Wicker》的长尾表现稳健，黑熊有望在独立发行领域站稳脚跟。
Olivia Colman Fantasy Romance 'Wicker' Opens to $5.7M in Fifth Place, a First Clear Hit for Distributor Black Bear
According to Box Office Mojo, the Olivia Colman fantasy romance Wicker opened to $5.7 million from 1,471 theaters over the October 23–25 weekend, good for fifth place in North America and one of the strongest debuts of the frame. The result gives distributor Black Bear its first clear hit since it began releasing its own films this year, after a string of earlier disappointments.
Black Bear built its name in production and financing before moving into self-distribution. Festival buzz and strong advance promotion preceded Wicker's release, and Colman's drawing power, the fantasy-romance pairing and a mid-size theater count with healthy per-screen returns carried the opening. Some initial chart estimates put the gross at $5.8 million; Box Office Mojo's figure is $5.7 million.
The film's staying power will test whether Black Bear's distribution model can last. Its 2027 slate includes a new Guy Ritchie film and David Leitch's Jason Statham Stole My Bike, so a solid Wicker hold would strengthen the independent studio's position in the distribution business.
