Cuckoo, the latest horror film from director Tilman Singer, has set its sights on a successful opening weekend, with projections pointing towards a $3+ million debut. While it may not reach the heights of Longlegs’ $22 million opening, it is still on track to make its mark in the box office. The film, starring Hunter Schafer and Dan Stevens, has already garnered attention for its chilling storyline and standout performances.
The Alpine-set horror follows the story of Gretchen, a troubled 17-year-old who is forced to leave her American home after her mother’s passing. She moves in with her father and his new family at a resort in the picturesque German Alps, where strange and terrifying events begin to unfold. Hunter Schafer delivers a powerful performance as Gretchen, while Dan Stevens adds a touch of menace as the enigmatic Herr König.
A Surprising Twist
Gretchen soon finds herself haunted by mysterious noises and horrifying visions, all while uncovering a shocking secret that threatens to upend her world. The film’s dark and twisted plot keeps audiences on edge, drawing them into a world filled with suspense and terror. Cuckoo proves to be a thrilling rollercoaster ride from start to finish, leaving viewers on the edge of their seats.
Continued Success in the Box Office
As Cuckoo makes its mark in theaters, other films are also holding steady in the box office. Longlegs by Osgood Perkins continues to bring in audiences, maintaining a strong presence in its fifth week. Meanwhile, Didi and Sing Sing attract moviegoers with their compelling storylines and standout performances.
New entries like Good One, the directorial debut from Metrograph Pictures, have also entered the fray. With positive reviews and strong early showings, these limited releases show promise for future expansion into major markets. Cuckoo’s success sets the stage for a wave of thrilling and captivating films in the months to come.
