Box Office: ‘Midnight Meat Train’ Numbers Game
Well horror fiends, the weekend in coming to a close and Box Office Mojo has reported that Lionsgate’s The Midnight Meat Train has taken in an estimated $32,000 on 102 screens. Looks pretty bad doesn’t it? Let’s play the numbers game shall we? Tickets were between $1 and $2, an average ticket is between $11 and $12, that means it’s safe to say the real numbers would be a multiple of 10. So, had Clive Barker’s film opened in normal theaters, it would have made an estimated $320,000 on only 102 screens. It would have also averaged $3,000 per screen, which is on par with the heavyweights. A flop? I think not – and maybe I’m reaching a bit, but I think a statement was made… what do you think? Let’s open this up to discussion.
It’s been 17 years since the release of horror sequel The Descent: Part 2, and the film is returning to physical media with a brand new 4K Ultra HD SteelBook from Lionsgate Limited.
This marks the first time The Descent: Part 2 has been released on 4K in the U.S.
Now up for pre-order, the 4K SteelBook will be released on August 11, 2026.
The Descent: Part 2 follows Sarah Carter (Shauna Macdonald) — dazed, bloodied, and speechless — as she emerges alone from the Appalachian cave system where the events of The Descent occurred. Forced back underground to help the rescue team search for her missing girlfriends, Sarah’s fractured memories begin to return, and she realizes the full horror of what lurks in the depths of the caves. But the rescue team is about to face a new tribe of deformed crawlers — even more viciously feral than those Sarah encountered before.
