Apparently, monkey business is good business, with news that Osgood Perkins' The Monkey has hauled in an impressive $38 million domestically and $42 million worldwide, according to Box Office Mojo. Consequently, that nightmarish nuisance has not only become the most successful horror movie of the year but also the seventh most successful film of 2025 so far, beating Companion and Wolf Man, which both earned over $34 million.
The film, adapted from a Stephen King short story, stars Theo James as twin brothers who battle for control of a randomly lethal toy monkey. It received significant praise from critics and audiences alike, earning a 79% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
