Evil Dead Burn has moved out of the danger zone at the worldwide box office. It has crossed the break-even target in just two weekends, despite a slow debut last weekend. The movie will not have to worry about being a massive flop. It still has weeks before it and will add significant profit at the box office. However, it will still be under the radar as exhibitors are curious whether it can top the rebooted Evil Dead movies worldwide. Keep scrolling for the deets.
The movie had the lowest debut in the rebooted series, and in its first week, it emerged as the 3rd-highest-grossing film in the franchise overall. The Sam Raimi-created film franchise is one of the most popular in horror history. It has also developed a huge cult following over the years, but this one still needs to perform well at the box office to best its predecessors.
Evil Dead Burn crosses $50 million worldwide
Based on the latest numbers on Box Office Mojo, Evil Dead Burn collected just $5 million on its 2nd three-day weekend at the North American box office. It crashed by 63.5% from last weekend when it was released. It is less than half of Evil Dead Rise’s $12.1 million second-weekend gross, and with that, the film’s domestic total has hit $24.2 million.
