Hokum Worldwide Box Office: On Track To Overtake The Strangers: Chapter 3
Adam Scott’s horror film Hokum is on par with the domestic earnings of another 2026 horror film, The Strangers: Chapter 3. Here’s what it needs to beat its worldwide total.
by Pranshu Awasthi · KoimoiSeverance star Adam Scott’s Gothic supernatural horror film Hokum has been in U.S. theaters for nearly one week now, and it has garnered positive reviews from both critics and moviegoers. The Damian McCarthy-directed feature earned $6.4 million in its opening weekend from 1,885 theaters in North America, taking its domestic tally to $8.6 million. Combined with its current $2 million international haul, the film’s worldwide total has now reached $10.6 million.
Since it has been made on an estimated budget of $5 million, it indicates that Hokum would need to earn around a modest $12.5 million worldwide to break even at the box office, based on the commonly used 2.5x multiplier rule. This means it needs to earn about $1.9 million more to achieve this important box-office milestone.
As it continues its theatrical run, it has already matched the domestic earnings of another 2026 horror title – The Strangers: Chapter 3. Read on to find out what Hokum still needs to earn to overtake its worldwide total.

However, it needs to earn another $0.2 million to surpass its worldwide total, a small gap that the Adam Scott starrer is expected to close very soon. As it continues its ongoing run, the gap between the two films’ domestic earnings is expected to further widen. It remains to be seen how many more 2026 horror films it can overtake in the coming weeks.
