Les huit montagnes daniela de pellegrin means The Eight Mountains by Daniela de Pellegrin

“The Eight Mountains” has earned a modest yet respectable $11.3 million globally, drawing critical acclaim and international attention. According to Box Office Mojo, the film brought in $302,456 from North American theaters and $11,074,107 internationally, showing its strongest performance overseas. With a limited theatrical release in the U.S. beginning on April 28, 2023, the film had already premiered earlier in France (December 21, 2022) and Italy (December 22, 2022), where it resonated more deeply with European audiences.

Box Office Highlights

  • Worldwide Gross: $11,376,563

  • U.S. Opening Weekend: $33,323

  • Italy Opening Weekend: $474,307

  • France Opening Weekend: $153,323

  • Widest U.S. Release: 472 theaters

  • Estimated Budget: €7.68 million

While its North American numbers remained limited due to a selective release strategy, The Eight Mountains found greater traction in European markets, especially in its native Italy. These figures illustrate the challenge faced by international indie dramas: they often generate a stronger cultural and box office response abroad than in the U.S. market. Still, with earnings surpassing its estimated production budget, the film can be considered a financial success relative to its scale.
