Sam Raimi’s latest directorial effort, Send Help, was released in theaters on January 30, 2026, receiving stellar reviews from critics and audiences alike. It currently holds a 93% critics’ score on Rotten Tomatoes and a solid 7.2/10 user rating on IMDb.
In its second weekend, Send Help collected an impressive $6.3 million, bringing its current international total to $17.9 million across over 50 overseas territories. Combined with its $35.8 million domestic total, the film now stands at $53.7 million worldwide, making it the second-highest-grossing release of 2026 so far. It currently trails only 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, which leads the annual chart with $56.6 million. This puts the survival thriller just $3.2 million away from claiming the top spot of the year.
Produced on an estimated $40 million budget, the film would need to gross roughly $100 million worldwide to break even, based on the commonly cited 2.5x multiplier rule. While it remains to be seen whether it can hit that mark, Send Help has already cleared an interesting milestone: surpassing the lifetime global earnings of Sam Raimi’s overlooked 1990 superhero film Darkman, starring Liam Neeson. Here’s the lead Send Help has already built over the underrated classic.
