Trivia / Don't Breathe

• California Doubling: Set in Detroit, but filmed mostly in Hungary.
• Sleeper Hit: Despite its strong reception at SXSW, the film was initially pegged to be only a mild commercial performer, with Sony projecting an $11-12 million opening. The film instead opened with $26 million and held up over subsequent weeks, finishing with $89 million domestic and $157 million worldwide, eventually resulting in a sequel. Its success was even believed to be a factor in Blair Witch's box office disappointment several weeks after its opening.
