Multiple outlets confirm that Uncut Gems is officially the indie distributor’s No.1 film after having generated an impressive $18.8 million since opening on Wednesday. 

The Adam Sandler-fronted film is set in New York’s Diamond District and centers on Sandler’s character, a compulsive gambler attempting to get out of debt. 

The suspense thriller hails from directors Josh and Benny Safdie. Lakeith Stanfield, Kevin Garnett, and Idina Menzel also star. 

The film bumped the previously record holder, Midsommar, with $11 million.

Uncut Gems is only scheduled for wide screen release on Christmas Day, but it has already opened at some theaters in the United States. 

The Safdie Brothers’ movie has received rave reviews as it features the Murder Mystery star in a departure from his usual slapstick comedic roles. Sandler plays a New York jeweler who finds himself involved in some deals that see him forced to perfect a fine balancing act between business, family, and those who would rather see him dead. 

After a decade in the making, the film has now made bank for the brothers, who wrote the screenplay alongside Ronald Bronstein. Multiple nominations from the Film Independent Spirit Awards, New York Film Critics Circle Awards, National Board of Review, and Gotham Awards, have sent audiences flocking to theaters.

The result is that Uncut Gems has already managed to surpass the million-dollar threshold on just the five screens it has been shown on. 

To date, the Safdies’ 2017 film, Good Times, is their most successful picture, having grossed $4.1 million, with the box office haul from Uncut Gems sure to outdo that when it officially opens this week.

Starring as the lead is funnyman Adam Sandler, who’s showing us he also has quite dramatic abilities. Sandler plays Howard Ratner (Sandler) a New York City jeweler to the rich and famous who must find a way to pay his debts when his merchandise is taken from one of his top sellers and girlfriend. 

The trailer show’s Ratner acquiring a rare Ethiopian opal with mysterious powers. Seduced by the stone, Rather begins taking big gambles…

“I made a crazy risk, a gamble, and it’s about to pay off,” Ratner says.

The film also stars the Weednk as himself and Idina Menzel as Ratner’s wife. Eric Bogosian, Judd Hirsch, Mike Francesa, Julia Fox, and Pom Klementieff round out the cast.

The film premiered to rave reviews at the Telluride Film Festival and again at the Toronto International Film Festival
