Smile is the highest grossing horror film of 2022, remarkably successful on a low production budget. It is a runaway box-office smash, exceeding $200 million in revenues worldwide. In its first month of its release it climbed to #20 worldwide in revenue, ahead of many costlier movies.[1]
This movie delves into the supernatural and demonic curses. Some compare its style to that of It Follows (2014), which was a successful low-budget film costing only $1.3 million but grossing nearly 20 times as much.
