Thanks to word of mouth and critical acclaim, it’s already one of A24’s highest-grossing horror flicks of all time. With a domestic gross of $22 million in 11 days, it’s already surpassed the final domestic total of last summer’s Bodies Bodies Bodies ($11.4 million) and is fast approaching The Witch ($25 million). A24’s highest-grossing horror film of all time is Hereditary, which tallied $44 million domestically.
Talk 2 Me joins other A24 franchises like Ti West’s X trilogy, which will continue with the upcoming MaXXXine starring Mia Goth, Halsey, Elizabeth Debicki, Moses Sumney, and Michelle Monaghan. West kicked it off with 2022’s X before following up with Pearl just months later.
