The Big Picture Somewhat surprisingly, 20th Century Studios’ The First Omen out-performed fellow debutante, Universal’s Monkey Man, at the global box office in its first weekend of release. This is despite the more eye-catching marketing campaign that Monkey Man received thanks to producer Jordan Peele’s involvement. But The First Omen, which was originally destined for streaming, delivered modest results at the global box office, grossing $8.
Reviews for The First Omen have been solid. Directed by debutante Arkasha Stevenson, the film currently sits at a “fresh” 78% score on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes. Collider’s Ross Bonaimewrote in his review that the movie offers “a smart handling of horror with imagery that won't soon leave your mind.” Audience reception, however, hasn’t been as positive.
Starring Nell Tiger Free, Tawfeek Barhom, Sônia Braga, Ralph Ineson, and Bill Nighy, The First Omen is the sixth installment in the franchise. It follows the harrowing journey of a young American woman who goes to Italy and uncovers a conspiracy to birth the Antichrist. You can watch the movie in theaters, and stay tuned to Collider for more updates.
