Pattinson's 'Primetime' Surges Past 'The Drama'
30 Sep
Summary
- Primetime is set to become Robert Pattinson's top A24 film.
- The film has earned over $20.9 million in North America.
- It is less than $30 million away from beating The Drama.
Robert Pattinson's "Primetime" is rapidly ascending to become his highest-grossing A24 film, poised to surpass "The Drama." As of September 30, 2026, the crime drama has achieved a significant box office milestone.
In its opening four days, "Primetime" has already garnered $20.9 million in North America. The film experienced a 63% decline from Sunday to Monday, earning $1.7 million on its first Monday, a figure lower than "The Drama's" $1.9 million.
"The Drama," a romantic comedy-drama starring Pattinson and Zendaya, holds a lifetime domestic gross of $48.1 million. "Primetime" is now under $30 million shy of this record, positioning it for a potential top spot among Pattinson's A24 releases.
Released on September 25, 2026, "Primetime" follows a TV journalist's quest to expose predators, blurring lines between public service and sensationalism. Its strong opening weekend, ranking as A24's third-biggest debut, suggests it could break into A24's top 5 domestic grossers if it surpasses "Uncut Gems" ($50 million).
