According to The Numbers, Vanilla Sky was the all-time 46th highest-grossing thriller/suspense film ever at the domestic box office. The Housemaid has also surpassed the domestic haul of The Pelican Brief, becoming the all-time 44th-highest-grossing thriller-suspense film in North America.

Why is it significant for The Housemaid?

Sydney Sweeney’s film surpassing Vanilla Sky in North America is significant because it shows that a mid-budget R-rated thriller can outperform a star driven film. This milestone highlights the power of strong word of mouth, rare theatrical success for non-franchise content, and impressive box-office longevity in a market dominated by IP films and streaming competition.

The Housemaid, starring Sydney Sweeney and Amanda Seyfried, was released in theaters on December 19.
