Horror at the Box Office: Together Scores Solid Debut
The critically acclaimed body horror pic Together racked up a respectable debut weekend, scoring $6.8 million from Friday to Sunday and nearly $11 million total since its debut on Wednesday. That put it in sixth place at this weekend’s box office.
Body horror has rarely been a huge commercial draw, but these numbers are very solid. The $17 million budgeted film is likely well on its way to profitability, although it remains to be seen if it will have staying power in the weeks ahead.
I Know What You Did Last Summer finished in eighth place with a gross of about $2.6 million, a 49% drop from its second weekend. It’s earned $29 million thus far domestically and about $59 million worldwide.
With a budget of $18 million, IKWYDLS has performed decently, but its gross is still far inferior to other recent franchise revivals like 28 Years Later and Final Destination: Bloodlines.
Up Next
Weapons, the new film by Barbarian director Zach Cregger, has been building buzz leading up to its August 8th release. Reviews have been great so far. There’s plenty of intrigue surrounding the mysterious plot of the film. It’ll be interesting to see how it performs next weekend.
