In the wake of its Best Picture win at last Sundays Oscars , Moonlight enjoyed a healthy second wind at the box office this weekend.

Barry Jenkins coming-of-age drama added $2.52 million to its grosses, which now total $25.4 million, an impressive sum for a movie that cost a mere $1.5 million to make.

This was its most lucrative weekend yet. Moonlight played in 1,564 theaters, its highest count since first opening on four screens in late October.

Movies are regularly re-released or expanded to wider theater tallies after scoring Best Picture, but the Moonlight revenue tops that of the past four Best Picture champions. Last years titleholder, Spotlight, collected $1.8 million , according to Box Office Mojo. Before it, Birdman made $1.9 million, and 12 Years a Slave and Argo each accrued about $2.1 million. All four saw smaller expansions than Moonlight. To find a Best Picture re-release that grossed more than Moonlight, we have to go back to 2012 winner The Artist, which drew $3.6 million in 1,756 locations.

While some of the Moonlight victory has been overshadowed by the envelope snafu that resulted in presenters Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway at first crowning La La Land, this win should not be undersold. Moonlight climbed almost 260 percent compared to the previous weeks grosses, by far the most of any movie this weekend . Thats especially impressive considering it had already hit VOD platforms. A24, the independent studio behind the film, also reported strong digital sales over the past several days. The movie currently sits at No. 4 on the iTunes chart.
