Yesterday premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in May, before being released theatrically in the U.S. on June 28. At the time of the film’s debut, Boyle admitted the concept of a world without the Beatles was difficult to envision.

“It’s impossible to imagine it actually,” he explained to Variety. “They changed the world really. They were the first really to say, We want to concentrate on love and pleasure and music … we want to celebrate humanity. And they do that in a wonderful way.”

Despite mixed reviews, the film beat box office expectations in its opening weekend and has has seen steady returns since its release. Yesterday recently eclipsed $125 million at the global box office, a significant profit considering its reported $26 million production budget.
