The film took in $52m in the US and Canada over two consecutive weekdays, beating records previously held by ‘The Dark Knight’ (2008) and ‘Aquaman’ (2018). Not only did it break those records, but the film also saw Greta Gerwig take top spot for the highest domestic box office for a female director.
