"variety" noted that the film's opening weekend could have been even greater if not for hurricane irma shutting down nearly 50% of florida's theaters, a state that typically accounts for 5% of the country's box office grosses. the film broke the record for the highest monday that the month of september has ever seen with $8.8 million (besting "the sixth sense"s (1999) $6.37 million), the biggest monday ever for an r-rated horror and/or scary movie, while breaking the record for the highest tuesday that the month of september has ever seen with $11.4 million (besting "sully"s $4.8 million), the highest tuesday for a horror film (besting "the conjuring"s $5.6 million), and the second-biggest single tuesday for an r-rated horror film (behind "the omen"s (2006) $12.6 million). the film went on to bring in $7.9 million to attain the biggest wednesday in september history and the biggest wednesday for an r-rated horror movie, while becoming the record holder for any horror film on a thursday in september with $7.2 million.
