Jack Quaid’s fame is steadily climbing higher, with many recognizing him for his portrayal of Hughie Campbell in Amazon Prime Video’s The Boys, which came back for its fourth season last year. As we eagerly await the fifth and final season of this popular superhero spoof series, it’s clear that Quaid has a promising career ahead in Hollywood.
Following his first appearance in the movie “The Hunger Games” (2012), Douglas Quaid has been taking on more significant roles across numerous film projects. Notably, he was seen in “Logan Lucky” (2017) and “Rampage” (2018). However, it was his chilling performance in the 2022 “Scream” franchise reboot that truly caught everyone’s attention. In 2023, he joined a large ensemble cast for Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer”. This year, Douglas Quaid transitioned into an action hero role in the upcoming film “Novocaine” (2025). Interestingly, before taking on this action-packed character, he headlined a highly anticipated sci-fi horror production.

What This Means For Companion
The Film’s Performance Explained
With a 93% approval rating from critics and an 89% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes, the movie “Companion” captivated audiences upon its debut. Its intricate plotline and stellar performances by Thatcher and Quaid were particularly praised. The blend of horror and comedy was also a common point of admiration in numerous reviews. At the box office, “Companion” earned $36.7 million worldwide on a production budget of just $10 million, making it both a critical and commercial success. In terms of box office returns, the film proved to be a triumph for Thatcher, Quaid, and Hancock in the realm of cinema.
The strong performance of the film in both cinemas and streaming platforms indicates that it was likely successful on Video On Demand as well, contributing to its overall success. This boosts Quaid’s prospects as a movie star, along with Thatcher’s, given her recent role in ‘Heretic’ (2024). It remains uncertain when Quaid might revisit the horror genre following films such as ‘Scream’ and ‘Companion’, but his star continues to rise.
