Directed by Damian McCarthy—fresh off the critical success of Oddity—Hokum arrives in theaters May 1 via Neon, starring Adam Scott as a horror novelist encountering supernatural folklore at a remote Irish inn. Its SXSW premiere on March 14 garnered strong reviews for atmospheric dread and perfectly timed shocks, positioning it as a potential genre standout amid a crowded weekend facing The Devil Wears Prada 2's projected $70M+ debut and rivals like Animal Farm and Deep Water. Tracking forecasts a modest $3-5M opening in 1,850 theaters, buoyed by recent final trailer buzz and Scott's promo push, though competition tempers expectations; watch presales and Friday walk-ups for momentum shifts.
