Raimi's Send Help Aims to Lead a Quiet Box Office Weekend

Sam Raimi’s Send Help is forecast to open around $9–12 million and lead a soft weekend, buoyed by strong critical/audience reception and star power (Rachel McAdams, Dylan O’Brien). Iron Lung from Markiplier Studios is expected to debut at about $6–9 million, with a front-loaded performance likely to fade quickly. Lionsgate’s The Strangers – Chapter 3 targets $5–8 million as the weekend’s major new release, though it faces diminishing returns. Overall, the frame looks weak with limited high-profile competition.

Rachel McAdams Delivers Survival-Driven Comedy in Send Help

Vulture critic Alison Willmore praises Rachel McAdams’ performance in Send Help, highlighting her sharp physical comedy and survival prowess as Linda Liddle while noting the film’s ambitious reversal of office hierarchies on a deserted island. However, the review argues the movie falters by not fully committing to a more uncomfortable, equal power dynamic—Linda’s ascent is compelling but not grotesque enough to challenge Bradley’s domination, leaving the film wary of truly unsettling gender dynamics.

Send Help Primed for Weekend Lead as Iron Lung Surges and Melania Expands

Forecasts peg Send Help for a weekend-opening range of about $12–$17 million to lead the top spot, with potential edge from Sam Raimi’s return to horror; Iron Lung could push into the high teens ($10–$15 million) thanks to Gen Z interest and Markiplier’s fan base; Shelter projects $5–$8 million as counter-programming, while Melania is tracking around $2–$5 million in limited release, potentially reshuffling the podium depending on bookings.

Linda Turns the Tables on Her Smug Boss in a Raimi- flavored Island Thriller

In Sam Raimi’s Send Help, Rachel McAdams delivers a standout performance as Linda Liddle, a sharp consultant whose corporate trip with an overbearing boss (Dylan O’Brien) goes awry after a plane crash, stranding them on a tropical island. The pair’s power dynamic shifts as Linda’s survival savvy clashes with Bradley Preston’s smug arrogance, blending horror-tinged suspense with dark humor in a genre-bending thriller. Filmed in Australia and Thailand, the film showcases Raimi’s versatile touch and McAdams’s range, with Send Help arriving January 30, 2026 from 20th Century Studios and touted as a strong early gem for 2026.

Raimi Delivers Bonkers Survival Thriller Starring McAdams and O'Brien

THR’s review praises Sam Raimi’s Send Help as a bold survival thriller led by a deglamorized Rachel McAdams and a revelatory Dylan O'Brien; after a plane crash strands Linda Liddle and her abusive boss on a deserted island, Linda uses survival skills to outmatch him, with Raimi delivering outrageous set pieces and a brutal, entertaining ending, though some plot twists feel excessive.

Raimi's Send Help: Witty Island Clash Marred by Gore

Sam Raimi returns with Send Help, a desert-island survival story that pits Linda Liddle against a spoiled CEO after a plane crash; the setup is sharp and satirical, and Rachel McAdams delivers a solid performance, but the film veers into gratuitous gore that undercuts believability and derails some of the satire, leaving the latter half feel derivative despite the strong opener. Release dates: Australia Jan 29, US Jan 30, UK Feb 5.
