On Rotten Tomatoes, Timothee Chalamet’s A Complete Unknown received favorable ratings.

According to Luiz Fernando’s report, it has been awarded an A on CinemaScore.

The movie collected a strong $4.8 million on Thursday, Boxing Day, a drop of 33.3% from Wednesday when it opened in the theatres. It registered the biggest Thursday in Searchlight’s history. The film has hit a $12 million cume in the United States. The film is eyeing a $27-$32 million five-day Christmas opening, and a $15-$20 million three-day weekend could be in the cards.

It follows an unknown 19-year-old Bob Dylan, who arrives in New York City with his guitar. On his meteoric rise, he forges relationships with music icons of Greenwich Village, culminating in a groundbreaking performance that reverberates worldwide. A Complete Unknown was released in the theatres on December 25.
