Black Phone 2 is becoming considered one of those surprise box office stories that everybody likes to discuss. The Blumhouse horror sequel has kept its grip on the audience for weeks, slowly constructing its numbers and now officially outgrossing considered one of this yr’s biggest horror hits, 28 Years Later, within the US. The movie quickly found its place within the profitable zone, crossing its break-even mark inside just a number of days of its release.
Black Phone 2 Box Office Performance So Far
Nearly a month because it hit theatres, The Black Phone 2 has pulled in greater than $121 million worldwide. Within the US alone, the film has earned a robust $71.3 million after launching in over 3,400 theaters and now holding its ground in just below 3,000. Internationally, the story is more modest but still decent, with around $50 million coming in from overseas markets.
The movie has been showing remarkable consistency, grossing over $1 million every weekend to date. Its latest weekend brought in greater than $5 million, though that marked a 37.5% dip from the previous weekend’s $8.3 million haul. The weekdays have been slower, with Monday pulling in about $550K and Tuesday experiencing a 51% boost to $833K, still in need of the $1 million mark it reached on the identical day last week. The drop is visible, however the film continues to hold on with decent legs for a horror sequel.
Outgrossing 28 Years Later Domestically
What makes this run more interesting is that The Black Phone 2 has now crossed 28 Years Later’s domestic total of $70 million. Danny Boyle’s latest entry in his long-running horror saga had an even bigger global impact, but in its home market, The Black Phone 2 has taken the lead.
Now, with theatres still keeping it on the lineup, the movie’s total could inch closer to the $150 million mark worldwide. Whether it reaches that milestone or not, Blumhouse has one other box office win in its corner and a sequel that has proven it might still ring the horror money registers loud and clear.
