New Horror Movie With 8% Rotten Tomatoes Score Debuts With Strong Box Office (& Nearly Recoups Budget)

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

Summary Despite an 8% Rotten Tomatoes score, Tarot is projected to take No. 4 in its opening weekend with a domestic gross of $6.25 million.

This total has already nearly recouped the horror movie's $8 million budget.

It shouldn't be difficult for the movie to hit its break-even point, though it may not make a huge profit.

Tarot is on its way to recouping its budget despite only earning an 8% score on Rotten Tomatoes. The new horror movie, which was written and directed by Spenser Cohen and Anna Halberg, is based on the 1992 Nicholas Adams novel Horrorscope and follows a group of friends trying to break a deadly curse that they accidentally unleashed from a deck of tarot cards. The movie features an ensemble cast that includes Pennyworth's Harriet Slater, Spider-Man: No Way Home's Jacob Batalon, and Avantika, who played Karen in the 2024 Mean Girls movie musical.

Per Deadline, the Tarot release is projected to earn a 3-day total of $6.25 million during its opening weekend at the domestic box office. This places it at No. 4 on the chart for the weekend behind the new release The Fall Guy at No. 1, the holdover Challengers at No. 2, and the re-release of Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace at No. 3. However, this total nearly recoups the horror movie's entire budget, as it only came with a price tag of $8 million.
