"The movie is arguably the most accessible and entertaining of all of Tarantino`s films and given its collective star power, great marketing campaign and generally great reviews, it should be no surprise that the film has become a global breakout hit," says Paul Dergarabedian of Comscore."And `Once Upon a Time in Hollywood` certainly has the potential to become the highest-grossing Tarantino movie ever," he added.
'Django Unchained,' starring DiCaprio and Jamie Foxx, released over Christmas holidays in 2012, grossed $162.8 million domestically and $262.6 million overseas for a career-best global haul of $425.4 million.
