  "account": "Johnny Depp has reclaimed the top spot at the box office with his first studio film in eight years, \"Ebenezer.\" The Paramount Pictures release opened to about $19 million in ticket sales across 3,535 theaters, according to studio estimates. Internationally, the film brought in $23 million from 63 markets, totaling a $42 million debut. While it may not match the massive openings of his past films like \"Pirates of the Caribbean\" or \"Fantastic Beasts,\" it represents a solid start for Depp, who had been struggling to find success post a contentious libel trial with ex-wife Amber Heard. The film's audience was predominantly female (52%) and over the age of 25 (81%). Most attendees said they would recommend the movie to friends, with 65% of ticket buyers expressing a definite recommendation. Critics, however, were less impressed, giving the film a 52% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Depp's next film, \"Day Drinker,\" is slated for a March release.",
