Before 'Bob Marley: One Love' hit theaters on Valentine's Day, the musical biopic about the Reggae legend was expected to sing its way to No. 1 on the charts. Box office projections indicated the Paramount movie would start slow, but it surpassed expectations by earning $52 million during the extended holiday stretch, raising its domestic total to $71 million after three weeks. The film is nearing the $150 million mark globally.
Despite mixed critical reviews, audiences embraced 'One Love,' giving it an 'A' CinemaScore. The movie's success was attributed to word of mouth and its authentic portrayal of Bob Marley's life and music.
