"It Comes At Night" opened in theaters on June 9th, 2017 after premiering at the Overlook Film Festival in April. The film received generally positive reviews from critics, but audiences gave it a "D" grade on CinemaScore, which might explain the film's poor box-office performance. It only managed to gross $6 million in its opening weekend, despite initial projections being higher.
