The Housemaid is ending the year on a strong and steady note, showing clear signs of becoming a major box office success. The film has managed to stay among the top five titles on the US daily charts, even while sharing screens with massive releases like James Cameron’s Avatar: Fire and Ash, the billion-dollar animation sequel Zootopia 2, Timothee Chalamet’s Marty Supreme, and Ariana Grande’s Broadway-inspired sequel Wicked: For Good. This steady presence shows real audience interest and a growing pull that refuses to slow down anytime soon as the year closes.
Paul Feig’s The Housemaid Finds A Wide Audience
Directed by Paul Feig, The Housemaid brings together Sydney Sweeney and Amanda Seyfried in an erotic psychological thriller that has clearly struck a chord with audiences. Since its release, the film has earned close to $60 million worldwide against a production budget of $35 million.
Most of this strength comes from the United States, where the domestic total has reached $49.8 million (as per Box Office Mojo). Overseas numbers continue to grow as well, now standing at $10 million after rollouts in major markets such as France, New Zealand, and Australia.

The early signs of success appeared during its opening weekend, when the Lionsgate-backed release collected $19 million from 3,015 theatres. This opening suggested a long run ahead and offered a welcome shift for Sydney Sweeney, whose recent projects, Christy and Eden, struggled to connect with audiences. This film has helped reshape her momentum, proving that the right role and timing can change the direction of a career.

Second Weekend Stability Signals Strong Word Of Mouth
Competition from Avatar Fire and Ash did little to slow The Housemaid’s appeal among younger viewers. Attendance stayed strong through the post-Christmas frame, when the movie earned $15.3 million during its second weekend. This came from a slight increase to 3,042 theatres and delivered a healthy per-screen average of just over $5K.

The Housemaid’s New Year Week Box Office Performance Shows Continued Growth
The pace carried into the New Year week without losing strength. On Monday alone, the film earned $3.5 million in the US, a 4.7% rise compared to the previous Monday. With several days remaining before the New Year celebrations conclude, earnings are expected to climb further and extend this positive trend.
This also offers a welcome shift for Sydney Sweeney. Her career, still small and young, has often drawn attention for reasons beyond ticket sales. The Housemaid now places focus back on commercial strength and audience reach. Current earnings trends suggest the film could finish its theatrical run between $80 million and $100 million.
The Sydney Sweeney Starrer Has Surpassed Regretting You At The Domestic Box Office
Sydney Sweeney and Amanda Seyfried starrer, The Housemaid, has also surpassed another popular adaptation this year. Regretting You, starring Mason Thames, featuring the story from one of Colleen Hoover’s novels, earned $48.8 million domestically and $90.4 million worldwide. While Regretting You ended as a clear hit and added to a successful year for Thames alongside How to Train Your Dragon and The Black Phone 2, The Housemaid now stands ahead domestically, reinforcing its strong position in this competitive box office season.
