Raimi's 'Send Help' Misses Box Office Goals
13 Apr
Summary
- The survival horror film earned $94 million globally.
- It needed $100 million to reach the global milestone.
- The film's $40 million budget may not be recouped.
Sam Raimi's 2026 horror film "Send Help," starring Rachel McAdams and Dylan O'Brien, has completed its theatrical run with a worldwide gross of $94 million. The movie, which garnered a 93% critics' score on Rotten Tomatoes, fell short of reaching the $100 million global milestone. Its domestic run ended on April 9, 2026, after 70 days, contributing significantly to the total.
Despite its positive reception, "Send Help" faced financial challenges. With an estimated production budget of $40 million, the film required approximately $100 million globally to break even, based on a 2.5x multiplier. It also did not surpass the worldwide gross of Tom McCarthy's "Spotlight," which earned $97.7 million. The film's narrative follows two plane crash survivors stranded on an island.
"Send Help" has also surpassed the $90.8 million worldwide gross of Raimi's previous horror film, "Drag Me to Hell." However, its inability to reach the $100 million mark and its final domestic earnings of $64.7 million suggest it may not achieve profitability during its theatrical release.
