The Invisible Man is set to take down Sonic the Hedgehog at the North American box office this weekend with an expected $26 million – $27 million opened weekend. Things started off slowly for the horror movie with a $1.6 million debut on Thursday, and a $9.9 million Friday, but positive word of mouth is clearly helping (you can find our review by clicking here).

According to Deadline, the audience for this one has mostly been made up of males over the age of 25, but a lot of women have also come out to support the Elizabeth Moss-led release. 

The Invisible Man comes after a string of poorly received horror movies in 2020, such as The Grudge and Brahms: The Boy II. With a stellar 90% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, this film is a big win for Universal Pictures and Blumhouse, and it’s easy to imagine it spawning a series of sequels moving forward.

After all, it did only cost $7 million to produce!

In related box office news, Sonic the Hedgehog now sits at #2 with $15.2 million, while The Call of the Wild has slipped to third place with $12.8 million. Harley Quinn: Birds of Prey, meanwhile, has slipped down to sixth place with a $3.9 million weekend and a total domestic haul of $78.5 million.
