Adapted from the hit novel of the identical identify by creator Freida McFadden, The Housemaid‘s success hasn’t been substantial splashy, as debuted in theaters in third train and fell to fourth in its second weekend. Now, alternatively, it is succor in third train, and it is critical that its earnings domestically find stayed barely constant: $19 million, $15.3 million, and $19.9 million.

Within the USA and Canada to this level, it has earned a ambitious $75.7 million, and the $57.3 million it has made of foreign places markets brings its world earnings thus a ways up to $133 million. It has climbed up to 26th train on the home chart for 2025 (having surpassed the $73.2 million made by Joachim Rønning’s Tron: Ares at some stage in its hasty mammoth show cloak cloak stint), and attributable to the pleasant (and lacking) January 2026 free up schedule, it has a solid likelihood of ending up in the tip 20.
