Weaving's New Film: Box Office Battle Ahead
4 Apr
Summary
- Over Your Dead Body needs $25.6 million to beat its predecessor.
- Ready or Not 2 has earned $57.6 million worldwide.
- Over Your Dead Body releases in U.S. theaters April 24, 2026.
Samara Weaving's new film, Over Your Dead Body, is set to release on April 24, 2026. The action-comedy faces the challenge of outperforming its predecessor, Ready or Not 2: Here I Come. The sequel has already recovered its production budget and is nearing $30 million globally.
To surpass Ready or Not 2's current worldwide earnings of $57.6 million, Over Your Dead Body must achieve at least $25.6 million. Its success depends on a strong opening weekend and consistent performance in the following weeks.
However, the performance of similar genre films, like They Will Kill You, which recently grossed $11.9 million worldwide, could impact Over Your Dead Body's box office trajectory. The film's release date is just weeks after Ready or Not 2, raising concerns about audience fatigue.
The plot follows a couple who retreat to a secluded cabin to mend their relationship, unaware that each secretly plans to kill the other. Directed by Jorma Taccone, its box office reception will become clearer post-release.
