The Strangers: Chapter 2 has managed to hold its ground at the domestic box office far better than expected. A few days ago, news surfaced that a sequel to the film was already being developed, which many thought was an unnecessary move. But with the second chapter performing steadily in theatres, the idea now makes more sense.
The Strangers: Chapter 2 — A Low-Budget Horror That Can Turn Profitable
The horror film, produced by Lionsgate, was made on a modest budget of $8.5 million and has already crossed the $10.6 million mark in less than two weeks, per Box Office Mojo. Its total collection now stands at $11.5 million, which brings it closer to the profit line, which is around $21 million. Moreover, despite receiving weak reviews from critics, the film’s earning pattern shows that it has the strength to reach that figure sooner rather than later.
The Strangers: Chapter 2 Weekend Collections Show Steady Audience Interest
After an opening weekend haul of nearly $6 million, the film managed to have another solid run in its second weekend. It earned over $2 million across the three-day weekend, despite seeing a more than 50% drop compared to its debut numbers. The film’s Friday earnings jumped over 105% with $865K coming in, followed by another strong performance on Saturday with over $1 million, while Sunday closed with $725K.
