Trivia / The Color Purple (2023)

• Box Office Bomb: Grossed $67 million worldwide on an estimated $100 million budget. The film was initially called a hit after an impressive $18 million opening day, but it faded rapidly over the holidays.
• Remake Cameo: Whoopi Goldberg, who played Celie in the original film, briefly appears as the midwife who helps Celie deliver her baby.
• Underage Casting: Despite what his gray beard would suggest, David Alan Grier is a little young to be Taraji P. Henson's father. The actors are only 14 years apart.
