By The acclaimed indie horror film “Late Night With the Devil” opened this weekend across 1,034 venues where it made $2.8 million and came in sixth place.
But in an amusing bit of news, it has been revealed that the film’s estimated Sunday one-day haul is coming in at $666,666 according to trade paper Variety.
Even they indicate that “you can’t make this up” when it comes to that figure. David Dastmalchian stars in the film as a late-night talk show host who keeps the cameras rolling during a live Satanic incident
The film had the biggest opening weekend for its distributor IFC Films to date, overtaking 2022’s Maika Monroe-led “Watcher” which debuted to $826,775 for its full weekend.
Scott Shooman, head of AMC Networks Films, which encompasses IFC, says in a statement:
“This weekend’s release of ‘Late Night With the Devil’ set fire to our old opening record. [It] continues to showcase that there is still potential for highly reviewed, intelligent auteur films in movie theaters across all genres.”
“Late Night With the Devil” will be playing in cinemas for several more weeks and will then debut on streaming service Shudder on April 19th.
