The film earned $8.7 million from an $18 million budget. Experts are pointing out positive aspects for the film's popularity and box office earnings, and they expect the film to generate even more revenue in the future.
The plot of the film revolves around Nathan Cain, a humble young man born with a hereditary disease that gives his body immunity to physical pain. When the girl of Nathan's dreams is taken hostage by bank robbers, he is forced to turn his disability into a superpower. This, of course, is discussed with a full approach not only to the combat aspects but also to the dramatic processes characteristic of the genre.
Film's popularity and box office results
It should be noted that "Novocaine" achieved high box office results over the past weekend in the US. However, it is also important to mention that the box office results of other complex films have decreased during these days. Robert Pattinson's sci-fi film "Mickey 17," for instance, dropped to $7.6 million during its second weekend in theaters, with its worldwide box office results totaling $90 million.
One of the main features of the film is the high quality of Jack Quaid's role, filled with intense and dramatic gestures. Speaking about how the film's genre and plot structure have affected the audience, it is unique and very complex.
The digital release of "Mickey 17" is expected to take place on March 25, but it will require more time and effort to achieve significant profits at the box office.
Jack Quaid's "Novocaine" has managed to start well with its initial results in theaters, encouraging more viewers to follow the film.
