Neon, known for its successful low-to-mid-budget productions, has seen considerable success in the past with acclaimed films like “Parasite” and “Triangle of Sadness.” However, “Immaculate” now holds the record for the studio’s best opening day performance, surpassing even big-budget productions.
Before “Immaculate,” the record was held by Michael Mann’s “Ferrari.” However, the horror flick managed to surpass this milestone with its impressive box office debut.
According to BoxOfficeReport, “Immaculate” earned an estimated $5.36 million in its domestic debut from 2,354 locations. With a budget of $9 million, the film has already recouped half of its production costs, indicating a promising future as one of the year’s standout independent hits. Despite facing tough competition from blockbusters like “Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire” and “Dune: Part 2,” “Immaculate” secured the fourth spot on the box office chart.
This success further solidifies Sydney Sweeney’s reputation as a bankable star in Hollywood. Her previous hit, “Anyone but You,” demonstrated her ability to draw audiences and achieve box office success. With “Immaculate” receiving positive reviews and showing potential for strong word-of-mouth buzz, it’s poised to follow a similar trajectory as her previous hit.
Directed by Michael Mohan and featuring a talented cast including Álvaro Morte and Benedetta Porcaroli, “Immaculate” tells the gripping story of Cecilia, a woman whose faith is tested when she uncovers dark secrets within an Italian convent where she has accepted a prestigious position.
As “Immaculate” continues its theatrical run, it’s clear that Sydney Sweeney’s star power and the film’s compelling storyline have resonated with audiences, making it a must-watch for horror fans everywhere.
