Recently, Alien: Romulus became the highest-grossing horror film of 2024 after overtaking A Quiet Place: Day One’s lifetime haul. Alien Romulus opened in theaters three weeks ago and has already established its reign as the top-grossing horror film of 2024. Let’s take a look at the top five earners
In 2024, the horror genre struggled to find its footing at the box office. This year, only three films crossed the $100 million benchmark. Meanwhile, eight films grossed over $100 million last year at the worldwide box office. With four months left, 2024 has a long road ahead to match 2023’s horror film’s box office success.
2024’s first release, The Night Swin from Universal Pictures, failed to ignite the box office, earning $55 million worldwide. Sydney Sweeney’s Indie Horror Immaculate also failed to make a dent at the box office, earning $25 million. Disney’s First Omen also failed to scare up a big profit, grossing just over $40 million.
