The Housemaid vs. Paul Feig’s Theatrical Films – Box Office Comparison
Here’s a quick summary of The Housemaid’s current box office performance, as per Box Office Mojo:
The Housemaid – Box Office Summary
- Domestic: $115.6 million
- International: $111.5 million
- Worldwide: $227.1 million
To put that figure into perspective, here’s how Paul Feig’s previously directed wide theatrical releases have performed at the global box office:
- Last Christmas (2019): $123.4 million
- A Simple Favor (2018): $97.6 million
- Ghostbusters (2016): $229.1 million
- Spy (2015): $235.7 million
- The Heat (2013): $229.9 million
- Bridesmaids (2011): $289.1 million
- Unaccompanied Minors (2006): $21.9 million
With a worldwide total of $227.1 million, The Housemaid is not Paul Geig’s highest-grossing film; however, it has already outperformed some of his previously directed titles, including Last Christmas and A Simple Favor. It is now on track to outgross Ghostbusters ($229.1 million) and The Heat ($229.9 million), needing only a modest push to surpass both. The film also aims to surpass Spy ($235.7 million), though overtaking Bridesmaids ($289.1 million) appears to be out of reach at this stage. The Housemaid’s near-even domestic and international split highlights its broad global appeal, a positive indicator that it could continue climbing before the end of its theatrical run.
