According to media reports, the horror flick was made on a $19 million budget and had almost broken even in its opening weekend alone. But it’s done in less than 5 days! Based on industry rules, a film must earn 2.5x the production cost, and based on that, the Jessica Chastain starrer’s break-even target was $47.5 million.
