Undertone's Global Haul: Can It Outgross Primate?
15 Mar
Summary
- Undertone earned $4.4 million domestically on its opening Friday.
- The horror film is expected to expand internationally in April.
- It needs $41.6 million worldwide to surpass Primate's box office.
The new A24 horror film, Undertone, has made a strong debut in the United States, grossing $4.4 million on its opening Friday, March 13, 2026. This initial success includes $1.1 million from Thursday previews, indicating significant audience interest. The film, known for its tagline "The scariest movie you'll ever hear," is set to begin its international rollout in April.
To achieve box office success comparable to other 2026 horror titles, Undertone must reach a global total of $41.6 million. Currently, it trails behind Primate's total by approximately $37.2 million. If the film maintains its opening momentum and performs well in subsequent weeks, it has a realistic chance of surpassing Primate's worldwide gross.
Directed by Ian Tuason, Undertone follows a paranormal podcast host investigating sinister audio recordings linked to her past. The film stars Nina Kiri, Adam DiMarco, and Michèle Duquet, and currently holds a 76% critics' score on Rotten Tomatoes, though its audience score is a more modest 53%.
