Conclave Achieves Major Domestic Box Office Milestone, Eyes Oscar Chances
The Edward Berger-directed film Conclave has successfully reached a major domestic box office milestone, crossing the $30 million mark at the US box office. The film, which premiered on digital just a week ago, has been met with largely positive reviews and is currently in talks for Oscar nominations, including a possible nod for Best Actor for star Ralph Fiennes.
According to Collider, Conclave has earned an estimated $30.1 million domestically, with an additional $1.5 million coming from international markets, a total that is expected to grow as it continues its international rollout in 2025.
The film’s box office success has boosted its Oscar chances, with its director, Edward Berger, already having received attention for his 2022 adaptation of All Quiet on the Western Front. The film’s positive reception from both critics and audiences has given it a strong momentum as it vies for major awards, including Best Picture.
Conclave’s success is part of a larger trend in 2024, with several other smaller, awards-centric films, such as Anora and The Substance, also performing well at the box office. This trend could help bridge the gap between awards movies and mainstream audiences, making it a hopeful sign for the film industry.
