What Made the Original So Massive?
The original film made a whopping nearly $400 million at the global box office — a stunning leap from its comparatively modest $35 million budget — and was able to acquire over half of its expenses in the opening weekend alone, earning $19 million.
The film’s unhinged psychological tension and Sydney Sweeney’s breakout lead performance made it a cultural talking point almost overnight. It was exactly the kind of original, non-franchise thriller that Hollywood rarely bets on — and the payoff was enormous.
What’s the Sequel About?
The new film follows Millie as she secures a fresh position at the Garricks’ luxurious Manhattan residence. The one unusual condition of her hiring: she is forbidden from seeing Wendy Garrick at all. As Millie settles in, the Garricks’ penthouse reveals a secret far more sinister than anything she encountered at the Winchesters.
Based on Freida McFadden’s bestselling novel of the same name, the sequel promises an even darker, more layered psychological thriller — and with Kirsten Dunst joining the cast, the bar for tension and acting has been raised considerably.
The film faces a formidable box office challenge, releasing the same weekend as Avengers: Secret Wars and Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum — but if the original taught us anything, it’s that Millie doesn’t back down from a fight.
