Quentin Tarantino’s ninth film, Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, has hit the $100 million mark at the US box office, becoming the filmmaker’s fourth release to do so.
Tarantino’s newest production pulled a total of $11.6 million over its third weekend, increasing the running total to $100.3 million. The film grossed $40.3 million during its premiere, becoming Tarantino’s biggest opening weekend ever. It currently ranks third in earnings in Tarantino’s career, behind Django Unchained, Inglorious Basterds, and Pulp Fiction, the director’s biggest hit to date.
The real-life inspired film, set in 1969’s Los Angeles, is an homage to old Hollywood icons. It focuses on the story of a former television star Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his stunt double Cliff Booth (Brad Pitt). They are struggling to achieve fame in the final years of the Golden Age of Hollywood, as a young and successful film star, Sharon Tate (Margot Robbie), moves in next door.
The film features many real-life characters, including Hollywood legends, such as Bruce Lee or Sharon Tate, as well as the infamous cult leader Charles Manson, responsible for the 1969 murders of Tate and eight others.
Once Upon A Time In Hollywood is out in the UK on Wednesday, 14 August.
