Overview
- They Will Kill You failed to find a big theatrical audience, earning roughly $19–19.3 million worldwide against a reported $20 million production budget.
- After moving to HBO Max in mid-June the film rose to the platform's top movie ranking, according to FlixPatrol data cited across coverage.
- Critics gave the film generally positive notices near a 65% Rotten Tomatoes score and reviewers singled out Zazie Beetz's lead performance as a major draw.
- Industry coverage points to tough release timing and competing titles, including Project Hail Mary and Ready or Not 2, as key reasons the movie underperformed in theaters.
- Because the movie's budget was modest, analysts and the director say PVOD, rentals and continued streaming revenue could still make it profitable and determine whether Warner Bros. pursues a sequel.
