Box Office: ‘Iron Lung’ Sinks the Competition With $8.9 Million; ‘Send Help’ Survives in Second Place

A flurry of newcomers from familiar faces (Sam Raimi and Jason Statham) and unexpected places (Melania Trump and Mark “Markiplier” Fischbach) hit the box office on Friday, but Fischbach’s indie horror “The Iron Lung” came out on top.

Saw it last night. Genuinely a fantastic indie horror for its production cost and it being Markiplier's first major film (as in shown in theaters). 7.5/10 on the scale of all movies I've seen but 9/10 given its context of production. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
