Sam Raimi's 'Send Help' Becomes His Best Horror Movie Opening Weekend

Sam Raimi's Send Help grossed $28 million worldwide in its opening weekend, making it the strongest opening for one of his horror films. Its debut surpasses Drag Me to Hell, which opened with $15.8 million.

Released Jan. 30 by 20th Century Studios, the film marks Raimi's return to the director's chair after 2022's Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and stars Rachel McAdams and Dylan O'Brien.

Send Help currently holds a 93% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes, tied with Spider-Man 2 as his highest-rated film on the site. The survival horror thriller has been described as hilarious, gory and mischievous, and its early performance could make it Raimi's most successful non-franchise film in recent decades.
