Universal's Horror Flop 'Him' Struggles at Box Office, Trails M3GAN 2.0

As of October 16th, 2025, Universal Pictures' horror film 'Him' is nearing the end of its disappointing theatrical run. The movie, which once played in 2,137 theaters, now screens in only 755, signaling the final phase of its poor box office performance. Internationally, the situation looks even worse, as 'Him' had already disappeared from most markets weeks ago.

After nearly a month in cinemas, 'Him' has earned only about $27.8 million globally, with international audiences contributing almost nothing despite Universal's heavy promotion. Around 89% of its total earnings have come from North America, but even that was not enough to reach the film's estimated $70 million budget. Only $3.2 million has come from overseas markets, leaving the movie on track for a major financial loss worth several million dollars.

Despite its commercial struggles, 'Him' managed a small victory by surpassing the domestic earnings of 'M3GAN 2.0', another underperforming horror sequel from the same year. 'Him's $27.8 million domestic take edged past 'M3GAN 2.0's $24.1 million haul in the US. However, 'M3GAN 2.0' performed significantly better internationally, resulting in a stronger global total. 'Him's limited overseas pull and fading theater presence now mark an early end to what was expected to be one of Universal's major horror releases of the year.
