Strong debut despite lower budget

The movie generated $10.4 million during its opening weekend. This performance occurred against a production budget of $44 million. The result gives the film a financial advantage over other expensive DC superhero movies.

Horror approach drew audiences

The film used a horror style instead of a standard superhero adventure. Critics noted that positive early reactions helped explain the strong start. Some reviewers stated the movie did not require prior knowledge of DC characters to enjoy.
