Feig's 'The Housemaid' a Box Office Surprise
28 Jan
Summary
- The Housemaid earned $227.1 million globally.
- It already surpassed Last Christmas and A Simple Favor.
- The film is poised to outgross Ghostbusters and The Heat.
The psychological thriller The Housemaid, directed by Paul Feig and starring Sydney Sweeney, has emerged as a significant box office success approximately six weeks after its release. The film has garnered $227.1 million globally, positioning it among the year's highest-grossing movies.
This figure places The Housemaid's current worldwide earnings above several of Feig's previous directorial efforts. Notably, it has already surpassed the global box office revenue of Last Christmas and A Simple Favor. The film is now approaching the totals of Ghostbusters, which earned $229.1 million, and The Heat, with $229.9 million.
While surpassing Bridesmaids' $289.1 million worldwide gross seems unlikely at this point, The Housemaid's performance against Spy, which grossed $235.7 million, is still a possibility. The film's balanced international and domestic performance suggests continued growth during its theatrical run.
