Send Help Soars Past Darkman's Global Earnings
9 Feb
Summary
- Send Help has earned $53.7 million worldwide, becoming 2026's second-highest grossing film.
- The survival thriller is just $3.2 million away from topping the annual box office chart.
- The film has surpassed the lifetime global earnings of Sam Raimi's Darkman.
In its second weekend, Send Help garnered $6.3 million, pushing its international total to $17.9 million across over 50 territories. Combined with its domestic earnings of $35.8 million, the film's worldwide total now stands at $53.7 million. This makes it the second-highest-grossing release of 2026, trailing only 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple. Send Help is now just $3.2 million away from becoming the year's top earner.
Despite its $40 million budget, Send Help needs approximately $100 million globally to break even. The film has already achieved a notable milestone by surpassing the lifetime worldwide earnings of Sam Raimi's 1990 film Darkman. Send Help's stronger domestic performance and international revenue have given it a $4.8 million global lead over Darkman, a gap expected to widen as its theatrical run continues.
The survival story centers on Linda (Rachel McAdams) and her boss Bradley (Dylan O'Brien), who become the sole survivors of a plane crash. Stranded on a deserted island, they must cooperate to survive the harsh environment.
