The film was the 58th-highest-grossing film of all time when released. [5] Worldwide, the film was the eighth-highest-grossing film of 2005, while it was the seventh-highest in the United States [115] and fourth-highest in the United Kingdom. [121] Charlie and the Chocolate Factory remains the sixteenth-highest-grossing musical film of all time and Tim Burton's second-highest-grossing, behind only 2010's Alice in Wonderland. [122] It is also the eighth-highest-grossing film of Johnny Depp's career. [123] As of 2021, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory remains the only "hit" Roald Dahl adaptation, following the underperformances of Wes Anderson's Fantastic Mr. Fox and Steven Spielberg's The BFG. Forbes hypothesized that the film's success could be attributed to Depp and Burton being at the height of their popularity in 2005. [124] Home mediaAt the end of the tour, Wonka assures Charlie and Grandpa Joe that the other children will be fine before he hastily retreats to his office without awarding them the promised lifetime supply of chocolate. When they follow him in to ask about this, Wonka angrily informs them that they had violated the contract when they stole the Fizzy Lifting Drinks, thereby forfeiting their prize, and then furiously demands that they leave. Stunned and infuriated, Grandpa Joe vows to give Slugworth the Everlasting Gobstopper in retaliation, but Charlie decides to return it to Wonka instead. Seeing that Charlie did not resort to revenge, Wonka joyously declares Charlie the winner, reinstates his prize, and reveals that Slugworth is his employee, Mr. Wilkinson. The offer to buy the Gobstopper was a morality test for the kids, and only Charlie passed. The trio enters the Wonkavator, a multi-directional glass elevator that flies out of the factory. During their flight, Wonka tells Charlie that he created the contest to find someone worthy enough to inherit his factory, so he will give it to Charlie and his family upon retiring.
