The Blumhouse horror hit Black Phone 2 has taken a significant dip in its box office run, much like many previous releases that enter this new week. The sequel, which has now grossed almost $128 million worldwide, is led by Ethan Hawke and Mason Thames and has enjoyed a strong performance since its domestic release in the US, with its domestic earnings alone pushing it into profitable territory.
Black Phone 2 Box Office Performance: Steep Monday Drop After A Strong Weekend
After yet another solid weekend, Black Phone 2 dropped by 74% in the domestic box office on Monday. The film went from earning over $500K on Sunday to earning just above $100K on Monday. While playing in more than 2,419 theatres, it recorded its lowest per-screen average of $74, marking the second time it delivered a two-digit per-screen number. The previous instance came last Thursday, when the per-screen average reached $98.
This indicates that while the film performs well on weekends, the weekday numbers are declining rapidly as the movie approaches the end of its run in the United States. The film is still expected to bring in more than a million in the coming weekend, but weekday numbers, except for Tuesday, are likely to decline further.
Black Phone 2 Secures Profit & Strong Rankings In the Horror Genre
There is still no concern for Blumhouse since the film has crossed its break-even point. Black Phone 2 currently ranks as the sixth-highest-grossing horror movie of the year worldwide and the fifth-highest-grossing horror title domestically in the US. Its run has already secured its place among the stronger performers of the genre this year.

Closing In On Poltergeist’s Domestic Total & Rising On The Annual Chart
Even with the modest Monday performance, the box office progress brought Black Phone 2 closer to the 1982 classic Poltergeist. The horror film, written and produced by Steven Spielberg, made $77.17 million domestically in its original run. Black Phone 2 is on track and is expected to pass that figure domestically. It currently also holds the 22nd spot among the highest-grossing films in the US this year, having recently surpassed Disney’s 2025 animated flop, Elio, according toBox Office Mojo.
Black Phone 2 may be slowing down, but its numbers show a steady path toward finishing its run with a strong final total. The film has delivered enough to remain one of the notable horror releases of the year, supported by both audience interest and consistent weekend gains.
