When The Housemaid officially crossed $300 million at the global box office, the milestone carried more weight than just another impressive number. Her response to the achievement centered squarely on her co-star, Amanda Seyfried, as she took the time to send a lovely message to her Housemaid castmate. The film’s unsettling tone, combined with strong word-of-mouth, helped it remain a box office draw well beyond its modest $19 million domestic opening just before Christmas. The Housemaid recently topped box office charts in territories including the United Kingdom, France, Mexico, Brazil, and Spain, even weeks after its debut. The Housemaid arrives on the heels of Christy, a biographical drama that failed to gain traction at the box office, making the thriller’s breakout performance feel like a bit of a course correction.
