A24 is often a leader in the horror genre, but they have had some misses in recent times. They were especially up and down at the end of 2024. On the one hand, they released Heretic, a movie that did well both at the box office and with critics. Hugh Grant’s performance earned praise, and even scored the actor a Golden Globe nomination. On the other hand, the back half of last year saw releases like The Front Room and Y2K, both of which struggled to land with both audiences and critics.
2025 has not gone that much better for A24 so far. March saw two back-to-back letdowns with Opus and Death of a Unicorn. On paper, the two movies had a lot going for them; they had big casts that were led by stars from recent hit streaming shows. However, Death of a Unicorn only made $16 million in total and got lackluster reviews. Opus did even worse, making just $2.1 million worldwide. ing these releases, A24 put out another horror movie in theaters, and that film has just crossed a major milestone.
Bring Her Back Has Crossed The $15 Million Mark
And It Did So In Under Two Weeks
Bring Her Back has now made it past a major box office milestone. The movie is the second feature from Australian directorial duo Danny and Michae Philippou, who previously made a splash in the horror world with Talk to Me in 2023. The Philippous return with another trauma-based story, this time telling the tale of two siblings who go to live with a foster mother after their own father dies. The film features Sally Hawkins in the lead role, with a supporting cast that includes Billy Barratt, Jonah Wren Phillips, Sora Wong, and Mischa Heywood.
As per Box Office Mojo, Bring Her Back has officially gone past an important new milestone. The film has now made over $15 million at the worldwide box office. This total is made up of $14.1 million from the domestic box office and an additional $1 million overseas. This total could still increase, as the movie is still in theaters in the United States and has some global markets still to release in.
What This Means For A24
Bring Her Back Puts A24 On A Recovery Path
So far, Bring Her Back is still far underperforming the Philippous’ Talk to Me, which ended up earning $91.9 million worldwide. Still, it will almost certainly pass Death of a Unicorn to become A24’s highest-grossing horror movie of 2025 so far. Bring Her Back also has strong reviews, an achievement that neither Opus nor Death of a Unicorn could tout. As such, this milestone is a win for A24, partially restoring their horror reputation.
