Madelaine Petsch returned as the main protagonist in The Strangers: Chapter 2. The movie is the sequel to the 2024 release The Strangers: Chapter 1. And is the second installment in The Strangers trilogy, as projected by the makers.
However, the second movie in the franchise hasn’t been able to achieve a fruitful run at the box office. After a mediocre first weekend at the domestic box office, The Strangers: Chapter 2 hung on as it completed a below-average first week run at the domestic box office.
Adding to its $5.8 million first weekend tally, the horror mystery closed its first domestic week at $7.89 million (via Box Office Mojo). The movie starring Madelaine Petsch reportedly added close to $2.09 million. The horror mystery flick collected $479,181 (Monday), $738,716 (Tuesday), $446,418 (Wednesday), $421,687 (Thursday) at the domestic box office.
As far as competing with the other movies running at the box office, The Strangers: Chapter 2 lagged significantly behind. The movie mostly ranked in the 5th or 6th (on the first Wednesday) slot, apart from its opening day position of 3rd.
‘The Strangers: Chapter 2’ lifetime domestic box office projection – Madelaine Petsch starrer to wrap up under $20 million
On its second Friday, The Strangers: Chapter 2 maintained decent footfalls as it was able to garner a domestic collection nearing $865,000. This took the Madelaine Petsch-starring horror movie’s total gross domestic sum to around $8.75 million.
This sets up the Renny Harlin-directed movie to gather in the range of $9.7 million to $10.5 million by the completion of its second domestic weekend. Further, a projected total sum of around $12.4 million to $13.2 million from its 2-week run can be expected.
Following the recent trend of horror movies falling under a similar stretch, a lifetime domestic number falling between $16.5 million – $19.5 million looks on the cards. However, even if The Strangers: Chapter 2 manages that, it will still significantly fall short of its predecessor’s lifetime domestic haul of $35.20 million, which also had Madelaine Petsch in the lead.
