And others are just like, ‘Meh,’” says O’Meara, who owns Fairfax’s University Mall and Cinema Arts theatres. “I don’t think it’s a polarizing thing.” Related Stories Raye Named Variety’s 2026 Hitmaker of the Year Olivia Rodrigo, Katseye and Sienna Spiro to Be Honored at Variety’s 10th Annual Hitmakers Event “Ebenezer” isn’t expected to ignite the box office à la “Michael,” a musical biopic about a controversial figure.

The Dickens adaptation, which opens on Nov. 13, is tracking a modest debut of about $20 million domestically and another $20 million overseas from 63 markets.

But O’Meara doesn’t get the sense the public sees Depp as persona non grata, even though the actor’s career has been derailed by personal drama, including domestic abuse allegations leveled by Heard. Paramount, meanwhile, is betting that moviegoers have been missing Depp, whose last Hollywood outing was 2018’s “Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald.” (He was forced by Warner Bros.

to exit the “Harry Potter” spinoff series in 2020 after losing a libel case against the British tabloid The Sun, which called the actor a “wife beater.” Depp won the subsequent defamation trial in the U.S.) An April 2026 study by the National Research Group suggests his fans never turned on him.

Onscreen, he has appeared in underseen indies like the 2020 drama “Minamata” and the 2023 period piece “Jeanne du Barry,” and he directed the 2024 biopic “Modì, Three Days on the Wing of Madness.” And Depp’s fans have been vocal on social media, supporting the actor through his professional struggles and bizarrely rallying in 2021 to nominate “Minamata” for the Oscars first (and only) fan favorite award.
