In the note
Sometimes activating fan bases for performers who aren’t primarily actors can be a tough road, otherwise The Giver and Cats would have opened huge based on Taylor Swift’s inclusion in the cast (as for Amsterdam, 🤷♂️); but in this case they made Harry Styles make sense as an actor, and it looks like his fanbase is driving a decent part of this gross so far (and of course the rest of the cast here has fans too).
