Timothée Chalamet's take is the golden ticket to success, making history as #1 Wonka film.

Timothée Chalamet's Wonka has proven to be a sweet success at the Australian box office, surpassing the earnings of both the original Willy Wonka and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory starring Johnny Depp. Earning a staggering $31.2 million at the Australian box office, and $507 million globally.

In comparison, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005) garnered $475.8 million globally, while Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (1971) achieved $4 million.

Notably, Wonka has also secured its position as the second highest-grossing musical of all time in Australia. It stands on the brink of surpassing the record set by The Greatest Showman, and industry analysts predict that it could achieve this milestone within the next week or two.

The film's success can be attributed to various factors, including Timothée Chalamet's charismatic portrayal of the iconic Willy Wonka character, a fresh and imaginative take on the classic story, and the film's widespread international appeal.

As the Wonka phenomenon continues to captivate audiences worldwide, it not only marks a triumph for Timothée Chalamet's career but also reaffirms the timeless allure of Roald Dahl's beloved tale of chocolate, whimsy, and wonder.
