After $115M Worldwide, Jessica Chastain’s 93-Minute Supernatural Thriller Officially Arrives on Digital This Week
Digital Debut Follows Theatrical Run
The horror film starring Jessica Chastain is preparing for its digital debut this week. Its theatrical release began in October, and it is approaching a full month in cinemas.
The movie’s theatrical performance was strongest at the start, then lost momentum. It has passed its final box-office milestones both domestically and worldwide.
Strong Opening, Mixed Reception
The film opened with $27 million at the domestic box office. That was a larger debut than DC’s Clayface, which opened a few days later. Unlike Clayface, Chastain’s film received poor reviews. It is described as her weakest horror-film performer both critically and commercially.
Worldwide Earnings Top $115 Million
The movie was made for a reported budget of less than $20 million and has earned around $115 million worldwide. The article describes that total as considerably higher than the box office for Rob Savage’s earlier film The Boogeyman.
The Boogeyman, starring Sophie Thatcher, made more than $80 million worldwide against a reported $35 million budget. Chastain’s 2013 horror film Mama earned nearly $150 million against a reported $15 million budget.
