- The indie slasher hit 'X' sequel just set new franchise records on its opening weekend with $6.7 million.
- This success will propel her toward her MCU debut, marking a major step forward in her acting career.
Mia Goth, known for her amazing acting and brave roles, has made a big achievement with MaXXXine, the newest movie in the popular and scary X series. The movie, where Goth returns as tough survivor Maxine, has broken box office records for the trilogy.
It is set in 1980s Hollywood, where Maxine Minx, an adult film star dreaming of fame, finally lands a big role. But when a mysterious killer starts targeting actresses in Los Angeles, Maxine’s dark past risks being exposed by the trail of blood.
The sequel to the indie slasher hit X just shattered franchise records in the opening weekend. This success makes Goth a bigger star and opens doors for more exciting projects in the future.
Mia Goth’s MaXXXine Slays the Box Office
MaXXXine surprised everyone by making around $6.7 million in its first weekend (as reported by Box Office Mojo). That’s more than the earlier movies in the series. The first film, X, started with $4.3 million (via The Numbers), and the later prequel, Pearl, didn’t perform as well with $3.1 million (via The Numbers).
What’s even more amazing is that MaXXXine was shown on fewer screens than its predecessors but still did so well. The reviews on Rotten Tomatoes are also largely positive for the movie.
A few things could explain why MaXXXine became so popular. The gap of two years between Pearl and MaXXXine might have given people more time to watch the earlier movies and get into the story. Also, MaXXXine picks up right after X, which isn’t common in slasher movies. Fans were probably excited to see what happens next to Maxine. Lastly, with the pandemic easing up, more people are going back to theaters, especially for thrillers like this.
MaXXXine Success Boosts Mia Goth’s MCU Prospects
Mia Goth is stepping into new roles. She will star in the role of the Bride in the film adaptation of Frankenstein directed by Guillermo del Toro. This big project has her acting alongside top stars like Oscar Isaac as the monster and Andrew Garfield as Doctor Frankenstein.
And that’s not all. Right now, Mahershala Ali and Goth are the only actors confirmed for Marvel Studios’ Blade. Ali will be taking over the role of Blade from Wesley Snipes. The actress is reportedly set to play the vampire Lilith, who craved Blade’s daughter’s blood, in a 1920s version of the movie.
