Yet, during that time, IFC Films’ The Wretched quietly matched a rather impressive box office record while nobody was looking.
The horror flick has now topped the domestic box office for five weekends in a row, making it just the fifth movie to do so since Titanic accomplished the impressive feat in 1997.
But The Wretched has outperformed them all by a wide margin and experienced its first and only week-to-week drop at the box office this past weekend.
What’s more, The Wretched has accomplished this largely through a release at drive-in movie theaters.
