Sean Baker’s Anora from Neon — which swept the Academy Awards for Best Director, Picture, Original Screenplay, Lead Actress and Editing – added 800+ screens to celebrate after the ceremony last Sunday and brought in in an estimated $1.

Following its Oscar sweep, "Anora" climbs to number seven at the box office. The film, known for its provocative content, is drawing attention from curious theatergoers eager to experience its layered storytelling and unexpected twists.

Anora” — which topped the Oscars with wins for Best Picture and Best Actress for Mikey Madison — is boosted by the wins at the weekend box office.

"Anora" was a film festival favorite that won over critics and ultimately took home best picture at the Oscars. It was not the BEST picture, though.

First of all, the title role of Anora, who goes by “Ani,” is genuinely one of my favorite movie characters in a long time, especially for the way she is portrayed by Madison, whom I agree absolutely deserved her Best Actress Oscar nomination for the part.

Smaller movies didn’t mean smaller viewer numbers for the Oscars. An estimated 19.7 million viewers watched Sunday night’s 97th Academy Awards ceremony, the biggest audience in five years, according to figures released by ABC on Tuesday.
