Becoming Led Zeppelin Documentary Hits Nationwide Release After IMAX Debut

The documentary 'Becoming Led Zeppelin,' directed by Bernard MacMahon, explores the origins of the legendary rock band and has garnered significant attention since its IMAX premiere, becoming the highest-grossing music film in IMAX history. Despite a strong debut, the film experienced a 32% drop in box office earnings during its second weekend, bringing its total to $5 million domestically. The film uniquely features participation from surviving band members Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, and John Paul Jones, making it the first authorized documentary about the group. It focuses on the band's early days and the making of their first two albums, avoiding sensationalism surrounding drugs and scandals. The film's success highlights the enduring interest in Led Zeppelin, as it continues to resonate with fans and newcomers alike. Future box office competition includes action thriller 'Cleaner,' starring Daisy Ridley, which will challenge 'Becoming Led Zeppelin' in the coming weeks.
