It received a C+ on CinemaScore, and the Rotten Tomatoes score is mixed to negative. On Rotten Tomatoes, the critics gave it 38% and their collective consensus states, “Faithfully harkening back to the original for better or worse, this reboot serves up plenty of nostalgia without finding a compelling hook of its own.” The viewers were kinder and they gave it 68%. Freddie Prinze Jr, Jennifer Love-Hewitt, Sarah Michelle Gellar, and Brandy also reprised their roles from the first two movies.

How much has the film collected on its day 1 at the North American box office?

Based on the latest data provided by Box Office Mojo, the R-rated horror movie I Know What You Did Last Summer collected a decent $5.9 million on its opening day domestically. The opening day collection includes $2.2 million from the Thursday previews. It debuted at #3 in the North American box office chart, beaten by Superman and Jurassic World: Rebirth. The film faces these two giants at the cinemas, and thus, its collection will be hampered.

Projected opening weekend

According to industry analysts, the R-rated horror sequel is eyeing a decent opening weekend between $13 million and $16 million at the North American box office, the opening weekends of its predecessor. The OG film, released in 1997, collected $15.8 million on its debut weekend, and the sequel raked in $16.5 million. For the uninitiated, there was a third stand-alone sequel in this franchise, I’ll Always Know What You Did Last Summer, but it did get a theatrical release instead and went straight to DVD.
