‘The Housemaid’ Crosses $300 Million, Overtaking ‘Anyone but You’ as Sydney Sweeney’s Highest-Grossing Film

The Housemaid has earned $300 million at the global box office, a major milestone for the mid-budget movie.
The R-rated psychological thriller, starring Sydnet Sweeney and Amanda Seyfried, has earned $116 million domestically and $189.1 million internationally, bringing its global tally to $305 million.
Lionsgate spent just $35 million to produce “The Housemaid,” which means it’ll be profitable for the studio. The film opened ahead of Christmas with a modest $19 million in North America and then remained a draw well into the new year, thanks to positive reviews and word-of-mouth.
Last weekend, “The Housemaid” was No. 1 in several overseas territories including the United Kingdom, France, Mexico, Brazil and Spain — a feat considering the film debuted nearly a month ago in those markets. Top-earning territories include the United Kingdom ($36.4 million), France ($33.4 million), Latin America ($26.2 million), Australia and New Zealand ($15.3 million) and Spain ($12.5 million).
Sweeney’s credits also include Tarantino’s “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,” which earned $392 million globally, but she only has a brief appearance in that movie.
“The Housemaid” was released shortly after the theatrical collapse of last November’s “Christy,” a biopic in which Sweeney portrayed the trailblazing boxer Christy Martin.
The Housemaid is also Feig’s biggest movie, overtaking 2011’s smash comedy Bridesmaids ($289.3 million).
This is producer Todd Lieberman’s fourth film to gross above $300 million after 2017’s “Beauty and the Beast” remake, 2009’s rom-com “The Proposal,” and 2017’s coming-of-age drama “Wonder.”
