New Horror Movie With 53% Rotten Tomatoes Score Passes Crucial Box Office Milestone

by

As a passionate movie buff, I’ve got to share some exciting news about a film that might not have made headlines right away but certainly stole the show recently – “Until Dawn”. Despite a relatively low profile since its debut, this movie has just scored a significant victory at the box office.

Based on the highly successful video game from 2015, “Until Dawn” serves as a chilling prequel to the game, following another group of characters who find themselves under the terrifying control of Peter Stormare’s character, Dr. Hill. Critics might have found it hard to appreciate this horror movie, with a Rotten Tomatoes score of only 53%, but ScreenRant’s Mary Kassel sees something different. She argues that “Until Dawn” is a testament to the enduring charm of the genre and gave it an impressive 8 out of 10 rating.

Clearly, audiences have sided with Kassel, as the movie has already clinched a significant triumph at the box office. This weekend alone, it raked in $3.8 million domestically and placed 5th. According to a report by Variety, it has garnered a staggering global revenue of $34.7 million. Given its budget of $15 million, it has already doubled its total earnings. Since the majority of movies need to earn at least 2.5 times their initial budget to become profitable, Until Dawn is well-positioned to turn a profit.
