Here’s how much the film needs to break even at the box office.
According to several media reports, including Variety, Jordan Peele‘s horror thriller was made on an estimated budget of $27 million. This is a very modest production cost for Hollywood standards, but its negative word of mouth and poor box office run may make it difficult for the film to break even.
To break even, Him needs to make around $67.5 million worldwide. This is pretty achievable, but the horror flick has not gathered any buzz around it, and there are other horror flicks also running in theaters. Peele’s film has poor ratings and offers nothing extra to attract people. Therefore, collecting even $50 million worldwide could be a challenging task.
What is the film about?
The movie follows the trials of a young, up-and-coming football player training at the isolated compound of an aging, nearly retired quarterback whose charisma curdles into something darker. Him was released on September 19.
