Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Kathryn Newton's Lisa Frankenstein may have bombed at the box office, but her next horror movie can redeem the $9.9 million failure and save the actor from a negative five-year streak. Lisa Frankenstein hit theaters in February 2024, and despite a colorful marketing approach and two well-known leads, its opening weekend proved disappointing — and it continued to fall short of expectations from there.
Director Matt Bettinelli-Olpin , Tyler Gillett Release Date April 19, 2024 Distributor Universal Pictures Writers Guy Busick , Stephen Shields Cast Kathryn Newton , Dan Stevens , Giancarlo Esposito , Kevin Durand , Melissa Barrera , Alisha Weir , Angus Cloud , William Catlett Main Genre Horror Although Lisa Frankenstein proved a box office flop, Newton has a chance to redeem herself with her upcoming horror film, Abigail.
Of course, that means different things for different movies. Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania's $476 million performance looks great compared to Newton's horror offerings. However, it was underwhelming for a Marvel movie, especially one with a $200 million production budget. Freaky and Lisa Frankenstein were unlikely to reach those heights, but the two horror films only making about $9 million apiece was a disappointing surprise.
