19 Nov
Summary
- Black Phone 2 amassed nearly $128 million globally.
- The sequel experienced a significant 74% domestic drop on Monday.
- The film remains profitable and ranks high among horror releases.
Blumhouse's horror sequel, Black Phone 2, has achieved nearly $128 million globally, proving profitable despite a considerable weekday box office decline. The film experienced a 74% drop domestically on Monday, moving from over $500K to just over $100K, indicating a rapid decrease in weekday audience interest as its run nears its conclusion in the United States.
Even with these diminishing weekday numbers, Black Phone 2 has surpassed its break-even point, securing its status as a financial success for Blumhouse. It currently ranks as the sixth-highest-grossing horror movie of the year worldwide and fifth domestically in the US, surpassing expectations and placing it among the genre's stronger performers for the year.
The film is projected to pass the domestic gross of the 1982 classic Poltergeist and currently holds the 22nd spot among the highest-grossing films in the US this year. Black Phone 2's steady performance, particularly its strong weekend gains, ensures a solid final box office total, marking it as a notable horror release.
