Why Nobody is Seeing "They Will Kill You": The New Horror Movie Flop Explained
It has big stars and scary monsters, but "They Will Kill You" just failed at the box office. Is the era of big cinema horror over?
Going to the movies is usually fun, but for the makers of the new film "They Will Kill You," this weekend was very scary—and not in a good way. Despite being shown in over 2,700 theaters, almost nobody went to see it.
"The movie only made $5 million in its first weekend. That is a very low number for a big Hollywood release."

The movie cost about $20 million to make. While that might sound like a lot of money, in Hollywood, it is actually a small budget. However, because the movie only made $5 million, the studios (Warner Bros and New Line) are worried.
Remember, theaters take a big bite of the ticket money! This means the movie might lose millions of dollars. This follows another big "flop" called "The Bride," which lost even more money just a few weeks ago.
💡 Did you know? A "Flop" is a word people use for movies that fail to make back the money spent to film them.
🧛 What is the Movie About?
The story follows a woman named Zazie Beetz (who was also in Joker). She plays a housekeeper who gets a job in a very tall, creepy building. The problem? People keep disappearing in that building!
Even though it has famous stars like Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy from Harry Potter) and Patricia Arquette, it wasn't enough to bring people to the cinema. It seems fans were just not interested in this mystery this time.
