Despite scoring a better CinemaScore than the new entry Never Let Go, Demi Moore’s gory body horror failed to crack the top five films at the domestic box office in its opening weekend. The Substance, which won the Cannes Award for Best Screenplay, earned less than Halle Berry’s horror flick Never Let Go, which also made its debut on September 20, 2024.
Mubi’s Demi Moore’s body-swapping horror received a solid B CinemaScore from moviegoers on Opening Day. Meanwhile, Halle Berry’s film received a C+ grade, indicating audiences liked Substance better than Never Let Go.

After a $1.3 million first day, Demi Moore’s critically acclaimed film grossed less than $3 million on opening weekend. The film failed to crack the Top 5, landing sixth spot below Deadpool and Wolverine, which took in $3.8 million.
Meanwhile, Never Let Go also had a subdued opening weekend, raking in $4.7 million. Despite the modest start, the film ranks No. 4 on the domestic box office chart.
