Revenue Split Between the U.S. and International Markets
The film’s earnings were divided between $46.948 million in the domestic U.S. box office and $68.950 million internationally, reflecting its widespread appeal beyond the United States.
A Thrilling Story Centered Around a Dangerous Secret
The film follows a wedding that spirals into chaos after a dangerous secret emerges, threatening the relationship between the protagonists, Emma Harwood and Charlie Thompson. The story unfolds within a dramatic framework that blends tension and mystery.
A Mysterious Marketing Campaign Sparks Buzz
A24 adopted a unique promotional strategy centered on mystery, featuring an interactive website with a countdown to the “wedding” date—a clever nod to the film’s release—along with an innovative ticket booking experience.
The campaign also highlighted images of Zendaya and Robert Pattinson in character without revealing too many details, heightening anticipation among audiences.
Success Driven by Mystery
Observers believe that the limited media appearances by the two stars contributed to building curiosity around the film. Pattinson’s absence from social media, paired with Zendaya’s minimal engagement, gave the campaign a distinctive and intriguing edge.
The film also marks the beginning of a new cinematic collaboration between Zendaya and Pattinson, who are set to reunite in upcoming projects such as The Odyssey and Dune: Part Three, making this year a significant one in their careers.
