Few films shook cinema-goers as much as Hereditary did when it hit the screen five years ago. An outright horror success that was a hit with both audiences and critics with its raw and sometimes shocking content. For these reasons, Hereditary has also been by far the most successful horror film for the A24 studio, at least until now.
Because in the US, it has now been defeated by A24's newest release, Talk to Me, by far the biggest horror flick of the year, which has grossed $65 million to date. Very impressive considering the meagre $4.5 million shooting budget the filmmakers were working with. However, Talk to Me still has some way to go to reach the same levels as Hereditary, which managed to gross $82 million globally.
