This article covers a developing story. Continue to check back with us as we will be adding more information as it becomes available.

Drop has passed a box office milestone. The Blumhouse thriller, which was directed by Christopher Landon, stars Meghann Fahy as a woman named Violet whose first date with Henry (Brandon Sklenar) goes horribly wrong when an unknown villain sends drop files to her phone that threaten her son and demand that she kill her date. Critics’ reactions have been largely positive, earning it a Certified Fresh 84% Rotten Tomatoes score alongside an 80% audience score. The critics include ScreenRant‘s own Mae Abdulbaki, who gave it an 8 out of 10 score. Read an excerpt from her Drop review below:

Are there aspects of Drop that seem too convenient and outlandish? Yes. But that’s not worth discussing because the film’s thrills, performances, and pacing are just so good. It’s an exceptionally fun film that will play well with audiences. It’s the kind of film that not only makes for a great theatrical experience but will also make you want to watch it again immediately afterward to see what you missed the first time. I had a great time with it, that’s for sure.

Per Deadline, as of Saturday morning, Blumhouse’s Drop is projected to close out its third weekend in theaters with a 3-day total of $950,000 at the domestic box office. This pushes its cumulative domestic total to $15.8 million, allowing it to pass the $15 million domestic milestone. This is more than $4 million higher than its $11 million budget, though its price tag means that its break-even point is most likely somewhere around $27.5 million.
