Overview

  • Zach Cregger’s horror thriller hit $100.3 million domestically in its 14th day after a $43.5 million opening and has led the box office for two straight weeks.
  • Its worldwide total stands at roughly $172.6 million against a $38 million budget, placing it well into profitable territory.
  • Exhibitor support remains strong with an expanded footprint to about 3,450 U.S. theaters and a robust premium-format share, including a two-week IMAX run.
  • Reception has stayed unusually strong for the genre, with high Rotten Tomatoes scores reported and an A- CinemaScore from opening-night audiences.
  • Industry sources say Warner Bros./New Line have discussed a Gladys-centered prequel with Cregger, and weekend estimates suggest a tight race for No. 1 as Netflix’s Kpop Demon Hunters sing-along event could challenge its lead.
