The Substance Box Office (North America): Earns Winning Numbers Even On Its 6th Weekend, Stayed Above Joker 2

It is the season for small-budget movies—Terrifier 3, Smile 2, It Ends With Us, and The Substance. They all have overperformed at the box office. Demi Moore’s satirical body horror film still held its ground at the US box office even on its sixth weekend. Scroll below for the latest box office update.

It is Mubi’s biggest box office success to date. The reported budget of the movie is $17.5 million. It enjoyed the perks of positive word-of-mouth, and the publicity by the lead stars Demi and Margaret Qualley heavily marketed the film. From The Graham Norton Show to Drew Barrymore’s talk show, Moore was all over promoting the film, and it paid off.

While there are so many big films playing in the theatres, The Substance still manages to collect winning numbers even more than Joker 2 to keep its collections running. According to trade analyst Luiz Fernando’s report, the movie lost 124 theatres and is now playing in 424 theatres in the US. It still managed to gross $622K on its 6th weekend, whereas Joker: Folie a Deux collected an estimated $600K only. It has been in the theatres longer than Joker 2.
