Sisters Paxton and Barnes, played by actors Chloe East and Sophie Thatcher, in front of the poster for the movie Heretic.
It’s a sign of just how low-stakes the year 2024 has been for the horror genre that Heretic is about to enter an elite box office list with just around $24 million in the bank domestically. Now in its third weekend of release, the movie generated around $2.3 million despite having lost over 1,500 domestic theaters. Heretic is around $1 million shy of overtaking Abigail’s $25 million lifetime domestic haul to become the 10th-biggest horror film of the year.
Heretic stars Hugh Grant in the central role, playing against type as a mysterious middle-aged man who hounds a couple of missionaries who come knocking at his door. The missionaries are played by Chloe East and Sophie Thatcher. Grant broke out with a string of romantic comedy hits in the 1990s but appears to be enjoying himself playing villainous roles in recent years.
You can watch the film in theaters before it debuts on digital streaming platforms in December. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.
