The Big Picture While 2024 hasn't been a phenomenal year for horror films, Lionsgate's The Strangers: Chapter 1 has earned an accolade that will surely make the studio happy. The Madelaine Petsch-led horror film had the highest-grossing opening weekend at the domestic box office for a horror film this year, according to The Numbers, earning $11.8 million during its first three-day stint in theaters.
This has allowed The Strangers: Chapter 1 to sit at the top of the standings despite receiving mostly negative reviews. The film has a critic's score of 15% and an audience score of 43% on Rotten Tomatoes, with Collider's Emma Kiely saying in her review that the film "doesn’t have anything new to add to the series" and "rehashes all the familiar touchstones of the 2008 movie.
Beyond Petsch and Gutierrez, The Strangers: Chapter 1 also stars Rachel Shenton, Gabriel Basso, and Ema Horvath. It was directed by Renny Harlin from a screenplay by Alan R. Cohen and Alan Freedland. It was produced by Courtney Solomon, Mark Canton, Christopher Milburn, Gary Raskin, Charlie Dombeck, and Alastair Birlingham. Executive producers include Petsch, Andrei Boncea, Dorothy Canton, Roy Lee, and Rafaella Biscayn.
