What did Evil Dead Burn cost to make?
According to ComingSoon, the production budget was $20 million. ComingSoon reports that figure covers production only, as detailed in the ComingSoon budget report.
Marketing and distribution costs were separate. A $20 million budget keeps risk low for R-rated horror. It also lowers the sales needed for box-office success.
How did the opening compare to Evil Dead Rise?
Box Office Mojo puts the domestic opening at $13,701,012, as shown in the Box Office Mojo tracker. That was about 44% below Evil Dead Rise's $24.5 million debut.
The gap signaled weaker initial demand than its predecessor. A slow start still left room for later weekends to add revenue.
What were the final domestic and worldwide totals?
The Numbers puts international earnings near $40 million for a $72.3 million worldwide total, according to The Numbers franchise history. Box Office Mojo lists $32,233,474 domestically in the United States and Canada.
The split shows a fairly even audience between North America and other markets. The totals break down as follows: Domestic sales supplied less than half the global total. International markets therefore decided whether the film stayed profitable.
- Domestic: $32.2 million in the United States and Canada
- International: about $40 million outside North America
- Worldwide: $72.3 million combined
Did it break even and make money?
Koimoi applies the industry 2.5-times rule, which set break-even near $50 million. The film passed $51.4 million worldwide after its second weekend. ScreenRant ranks it as the franchise's third-highest grosser, behind Evil Dead Rise at $147.2 million and Evil Dead from 2013 at $99 million. That position made Warner Bros.
and New Line profitable despite the soft opening. Reported totals vary by tracker from $71.4 million to $72.3 million and exclude marketing costs, so profit was modest. Warner Bros. moved it quickly to digital on August 4, 2026, Blu-ray on September 22, and HBO Max on October 2.
