How Was ‘The Apprentice’ Received By Audiences And Critics?
According to The Numbers, The Apprentice since its October 11 opening has made $3.2 million domestically and $1.4 million internationally for a worldwide box office tally of $4.6 million against a $16 million production budget.
The Apprentice was a hit with Rotten Tomatoes critics, who collectively gave the film an 80% “fresh” rating based on 198 reviews.
RT’s Critics Consensus reads, “Instead of cross-examining its subject, The Apprentice gives Sebastian Stan the chance to shine in a simplistic yet entertaining foray into the world of a young Trump.”
RT users also embraced The Apprentice, which earned an 83% “fresh” Audience Score based on 250 verified ratings. The RT Audience summary reads, “Sebastian Stan and Jeremy Strong’s performances resonate in The Apprentice, a well-crafted character study on one of the most polarizing men in America.”
After the release of the film in theaters, The Apprentice was slammed by former president and current Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump as “fake and classless” on his Truth Social account.
“It’s a cheap, defamatory, and politically disgusting hatchet job, put out right before the 2024 Presidential Election, to try and hurt the Greatest Political Movement in the History of our Country,” Trump wrote in part in his post.
Per Variety, Trump’s presidential campaign threatened legal action against the filmmakers after the film debuted at Cannes in May.
The release of The Apprentice on PVOD comes five days ahead of the U.S. Presidential Election on Tuesday, November 5.
