Listen to this article

No matter how bad August was at the box office, it has gone well for Sony Pictures’ super low-budget ‘The Invitation’. Sony Pictures supernatural horror drama ‘The Invitation’ was released on 26 August 2022 in theaters, and the film mostly received poor reviews from critics and the audience.

While ‘The Invitation’s total box office at $25.10 million domestically and $8.60 million overseas, for a worldwide total of $33.70 million^[1].

There is no doubt, despite receiving poor reviews and being released alongside ‘Three Thousand Years of Longing’ and ‘Breaking’, Sony Pictures’ $10 million budgeted ‘The Invitation’ has performed excellent and is up to expectations at the box office, and it’s generate profit for makers because the film’s promotion was also negligible and considering this performance, 2022’s ‘The Invitation’ is a Hit film at the box office.
