Warner Bros' 'Evil Dead Rise' secures second spot at the domestic box office with flashy numbers
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: There is a rising of evil around us but people seem to be loving it as 2023's 'Evil Dead Rise' movie had a bumper opening at the box office. The Lee Cronin-helmed with the 'Evil Dead' mastermind Sam Raimi producing the film is obviously the fifth installment of the fan-favorite 'Evil Dead' series. Nevertheless, the big box office numbers have helped the movie to rise to the second spot at the domestic box office as the animated movie starring Chris Pratt, 'The Super Mario Bros. Movie' has conquered the first place.
We suppose Warner Bros. is extremely cheerful with this box office result as the film has already surpassed its modest budget of 19 million dollars. Regardless, the new Cronin movie stars Lily Sullivan and Alyssa Sutherland as two estranged sisters trying to survive and save their family from demonic creatures. Morgan Davies, Gabrielle Echols, and Nell Fisher (in her film debut) appear in supporting roles.
