Greta Gerwig’s “Little Women” Crosses $100 Million at the International Box Office

"Little Women"

Jo, Amy, Meg, and Beth are celebrating a major milestone: Greta Gerwig’s “Little Women” has crossed the $100 million mark at the international box office. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the critically acclaimed adaptation of Louisa May Alcott’s novel “pulled in $475K from 472 screens in 12 foreign markets, led by Japan — where it opened last weekend — with $300K for a two-week total of $1.3 million. ‘Little Women’ also opened recently in Denmark, where it earned $170K over the weekend for a territory total of $1 million.” Cinemas around the world are starting to re-open after being closed due to COVID-19.

Set between 1861-68, “Little Women” follows Jo (Saoirse Ronan), Amy (Florence Pugh), Meg (Emma Watson), and Beth (Eliza Scanlen) March, sisters who battle societal expectations, and experience loss and love on their journey to womanhood. Laura Dern plays their doting mother, Marmee, and Meryl Streep plays their judgmental Aunt March. In addition to directing, Gerwig penned the script.

The coming-of-age pic, which has now grossed over $209 million globally, received six Oscar nominations, including Best Picture and Best Adapted Screenplay.

Gerwig’s solo directorial debut, 2017 Ronan-starrer “Lady Bird,” grossed more than $78 million worldwide. The film’s five Oscar nominations included a directing nom for Gerwig, making her the fifth woman ever up for the honor. Kathryn Bigelow is the only woman who has taken home the prize. She won in 2010 for “The Hurt Locker.”
