Send Help Repeats at No. 1 With $10 Million Second Weekend, Nears $54 Million Worldwide

Raimi insisted on a theatrical release, moving the project to 20th Century to preserve the big-screen experience.

Overview

  • The film led the U.S. box office for a second straight weekend with about $10 million, a 47% drop tied to Super Bowl weekend and cold-weather slowdowns.
  • Cumulative grosses stand around $53.7 million worldwide, including roughly $35.8 million domestic and $17.9 million international, per Box Office Mojo reporting cited by multiple outlets.
  • With a reported $40 million production budget, the movie has not yet reached break-even and will rely on continued theatrical play and downstream revenue to become profitable.
  • Strong reception is fueling momentum, with a 93% Rotten Tomatoes critics’ score and positive audience response to Rachel McAdams and Dylan O’Brien’s performances.
  • Box-office milestones continue, having already surpassed Raimi’s Darkman globally and, in some coverage, topping the lifetime total of The Shining, though some weekend estimates vary across outlets.
