A24 Notches Box Office
Record With 'Uncut Gems'.
The Adam Sandler-led film has taken in
$18.8 million since its nationwide
release on Christmas.
The figure is a new five-day opening record

'Gems' easily topped A24's previous five-day record
of $11 million set by 'Midsommar' earlier this year.

'Uncut Gems' also recorded $5.9 million.
That is the highest intake in
