In another post, she later celebrated the success of “The Color Purple” musical, which opened on Christmas Day as No. 1 and has since become the second biggest Christmas Day opening of all time. 

“I’m overwhelmed with gratitude,” she began in the post’s caption. “Thank you so much for everyone that made [“The Color Purple”] a part of their holiday plans. Y’all made it the #1 movie in theatres on Christmas Day! I know how valuable spending time with your loved ones is, so for y’all to buy tickets, dress up in purple, and show up in droves is filling me up.”
