Heretic cast features Grant, Sophie Thatcher, Chloe East, and Topher Grace.
Per Box Office Mojo, Heretic has now captured a new milestone at the box office, now entering the top 50 movies of 2024 at the domestic box office. The film currently sits at no. 49, with a domestic total of $24.7 million. This total is above A24's drama We Live in Time, and the movie beat out Blink Twice and The Bikeriders, which currently sit at no. 51 and no. 52, respectively.
What This Milestone Means For Heretic & A24
It's Already A Box Office Success For A24.
For starters, Heretic's box office journey has ensured that the film has ed its break-even point. Movies typically need two to two-and-a-half times their budget to break even. The A24 movie was made on an estimated budget of around $10 million, setting its magic number at around $25 million. While the horror film has almost reached this total at the domestic box office alone, it has made $31.9 million worldwide, thus crossing the threshold. This means that Heretic will almost certainly be a box-office success for A24.
Every A24 Horror Movie Ranked From Worst To Best
A24 horror movies have redefined the genre with hits like Midsommar, X, and Hereditary coming from the studio. Here's every A24 horror movie ranked.
Heretic's top 50 status is another achievement, becoming the third A24 movie to cross over into the top 50 films at the domestic box office in 2024. The other two movies were the well-reviewed political thriller Civil War, which currently sits at no. 24, and We Live in Time. Being among this elite group is a big deal for the independent distributor, as their films are getting more traction than ever before. Civil War's domestic numbers outpaced comparatively bigger-name titles, such as Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga and Madame Web.
Our Take On Heretic's Success
Heretic Has Beaten The Odds
Heretic's box office success is impressive because of how much competition it had during the time of its run. While its specific release weekend was fairly clear of other major horror debuts, it has wrestled with Smile 2 and Terrifier 3. Furthermore, the box office is being slowed now that the holidays are coming. This makes Heretic's top 50 box office achievement additionally impressive, especially considering that the Grant-led film is a very talky, esoteric, and dialogue-heavy project.
