Thursday brought fresh momentum, and the timing could not have been better with a strong second weekend shaping up and the New Year stretch waiting right ahead.<\/p>\n<p>The Housemaid Box Office Performance: A Crucial Comeback Moment For Sydney Sweeney<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Housemaid, an erotic thriller adapted from Freida McFadden\u2019s 2022 novel, pairs Sweeney with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.koimoi.com\/box-office\/the-housemaid-north-america-box-office-sydney-sweeney-amanda-seyfrieds-thriller-defies-avatar-fire-and-ash-with-solid-2m-previews\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Amanda Seyfried<\/a> and has already shown solid strength after one week in theaters. The film has collected $31 million so far against a production budget of $35 million.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This release also carried extra weight for Sweeney after political controversies off-screen and disappointing outcomes with Eden and Christy. The Housemaid arrived on December 19, landing next to James Cameron\u2019s much-awaited Avatar: Fire and Ash, a clash that looked risky on paper. Even so, the film grossed $8 million on its opening day and surpassed $19 million during its opening weekend, playing in 3,015 theaters with an average of $6,305 per screen.<\/p>\n<p>The Housemaid Box Office Performance<\/p>\n<p>North America \u2013 $31 million<br \/>\nInternational \u2013 $168,000<br \/>\nWorldwide \u2013 $31.2 million<\/p>\n<p>Christmas Week Showed Mixed But Promising Trends<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Christmas week began on a hopeful note. Monday added $3.4 million, followed by $3.7 million on Tuesday, showing a rise of nearly 9%. The momentum slowed sharply on Wednesday, Christmas Eve, with earnings dropping by almost 61% to approximately $1.4 million (according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boxofficemojo.com\/release\/rl1512275969\/?ref_=bo_rl_tab#tabs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Box Office Mojo<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Christmas Day Surge Changes The Narrative<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">However, Christmas Day reversed the mood entirely, pushing daily earnings up by a striking 141.4% and bringing in $3.5 million on Thursday. The film landed at number 7 on the US box office chart, a satisfying placement given the competition.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Now, with the second weekend approaching and the New Year period coming next week, The Housemaid is positioned to add more financial gains. For <a href=\"https:\/\/www.koimoi.com\/box-office\/the-housemaid-north-america-box-office-day-1-sydney-sweeney-starrer-opens-strong-at-3-sets-the-stage-for-a-solid-debut-weekend\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Sydney Sweeney<\/a>, this run brings a much-needed sense of relief and renewed excitement, turning a challenging year into one that ends on a far brighter note in her still young and fast-moving acting career.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Note: Box office numbers are based on estimates and various sources.
