What This Means For Your Monster
Your Monster Could See A Comeback
Your Monster was released in theaters on October 25, 2024, so its streaming release date comes just about exactly three months after its theatrical debut. The movie had a fairly limited release for a fall horror film, shown in only 651 theaters at the widest point. By comparison, indie horror films like Heretic and Terrifier 3 made it into over 3,200 and 2,700 theaters, respectively. Your Monster's 651 theaters collectively brought in less than $1 million worldwide, as the film grossed merely $804,531. As such, the film's upcoming streaming release date will give it a second chance to succeed.
Your Monster's critical reviews may give the film the tools it needs to do well. Despite its lackluster box office, Your Monster was fairly well-reviewed, getting a 78% Tomatometer on Rotten Tomatoes. ScreenRant's Patrice Witherspoon was one of the movie's champions, giving it 8 out of 10 stars and calling the film a "dazzling, genre-defying romantic comedy." The audiences who did see Your Monster also liked the film, giving it an 85% approval rating. These initial scores suggest that Your Monster has the potential to do well even if it struggled to compete back in October.
Our Take On Your Monster's Streaming Release Date
Barrera Has A Loyal Fan Base
Another reason Your Monster could do well on streaming is because of the following that Barrera has developed in the horror genre. Co-stars and fans alike were outraged at her firing from Scream 7, garnering her even more support. With Scream 7 casting news swirling about, the Barrera controversy is likely to resurface again. This press could alert Barrera fans to support the actor, which could cue her large fan base to go onto Max and support Your Monsterwhen it lands on streaming at the end of next week.
