After 3 Million Trailer Views, 2025’s Most Viral Horror is Getting a Release Upgrade

Based on reports from IndieWire, the low-budget horror movie “Good Boy” has expanded its release strategy from a limited to a full wide release, starting October 3. This shift mirrors the success of recent IFC horror films such as “Late Night with the Devil” and “In a Violent Nature,” which earned $10 million and $4.2 million respectively and played on over 1,000 screens during their theatre runs. Although IFC has yet to confirm the exact number of screens for “Good Boy,” the buzz surrounding its trailer suggests that it could match or even surpass these figures. In fact, there’s a strong possibility that “Good Boy” might become a sleeper hit or potentially a future cult classic.
