Leading Role in The Goldfinch and Its Reception
In 2019, Oakes Fegley played the younger version of Theo Decker in the film adaptation of Donna Tartt’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel The Goldfinch. Despite the film’s ambitious scope and ensemble cast, including Ansel Elgort and Sarah Paulson, the adaptation directed by John Crowley received largely negative reviews. The movie underperformed significantly at the box office, grossing just $870,000 during its opening weekend across 2,542 screens, making it one of the weakest debuts for Warner Bros. Pictures at the time.
