5 Feb
Summary

- The indie horror film is poised to surpass Resident Evil's haul.
- It has grossed $21.6 million domestically in five days.
Iron Lung, an R-rated horror game adaptation, has demonstrated surprising box office strength, earning $1.8 million on Tuesday, Discount Day. Despite lacking major stars and significant financial backing, the film, under the direction of Markiplier, has secured a top-three ranking domestically.
This indie success story is on a trajectory to surpass the lifetime domestic gross of Resident Evil: The Final Chapter, which had a $26.8 million haul. Iron Lung's current domestic cume stands at $21.6 million after just five days, placing it less than $6 million away from this benchmark achievement.
The film's performance is particularly noteworthy when compared to major studio-backed franchises like Resident Evil. Outperforming such a well-known entry suggests Iron Lung has significantly exceeded expectations for a project originating from a YouTuber, marking a compelling breakout in the film industry.
