A Man Called Otto, director Marc Forster’s drama starring Tom Hanks, has just crossed a surprising milestone at the worldwide box office.
Tom Hanks' latest movie, the drama A Man Called Otto, has surprisingly just crossed a significant milestone at the worldwide box office. Directed by Marc Forster, who is also known for Quantum of Solace and World War Z, A Man Called Otto is an adaption of the 2012 Swedish novel called A Man Called Ove. The movie stars Tom Hanks as a grumpy aging widower who finds a new lease on life after a young family moves in nearby.
According to Variety, A Man Called Otto has now crossed $100 million worldwide at the box office, a surprising achievement given the current theatrical landscape and the movie's older target audience. The total box office gross comprises $61.2 million from North America and $39.2 million internationally.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Why A Man Called Otto Has Been Successful Hanks has been an important fixture of Hollywood for decades now and is a proven box office draw, with a few notable exceptions in recent years. While Hanks alone is undoubtedly a large part of the reason why A Man Called Otto has found success, the way in which the movie uses the actor cannot be discounted.
Hanks' performance in Elvis did prove divisive, but that film raked in over $287 million at the box office. It's possible that Hanks' role as Colonel Tom parker, while very different from his role as Otto, inspired audiences to seek out A Man Called Otto upon its release.
Word of mouth has undoubtedly also been a major help for A Man Called Otto, with the comedy-drama currently holding an impressive 97% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. While last year's Pinocchio proved that Hanks' movies certainly don't always click with audiences, his team-up with Forster for A Man Called Otto would suggest that the actor can still be a major draw when appearing in a film that makes use of his nice-guy persona in a charming, easy-to-watch way.
