According to Deadline, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man just reached the top of the box office once again, sixteen weeks after its initial release. The Invisible Man was initially released in February, and was one of the few movies to get a theatrical release this year, since most cinemas were forced to close mid-March due to the coronavirus.
During its first opening weekend, the movie grossed US$29 million, and then went on to make US$100 million at the global box office. In dealing with this unexpected closure, movie studios decided to send some of their releases to VOD (Video On Demand) so that people who were stuck at home could rent them, and The Invisible Man was one of those films.
While majority of cinemas across America are still closed, numerous drive-ins are open, and some cinemas in states like Georgia and Texas have reopened in recent weeks. This past weekend, The Invisible Man grossed US$385,000, taking the crown away from Trolls World Tour and bringing its domestic total to US$67.8 million. The fact that The Invisible Man cost only US$7 million to produce makes this an impressive feat.
Does this cement The Invisible Man as one of 2020’s biggest movies? Well, the year’s not over yet.
