Following its March 28 release on the big screen, The Woman in the Yard grossed $22.4 million in North American theaters and just over $900,000 internationally for a worldwide box office tally of $23.3 million.
The Woman in the Yard had a $12 million budget before prints and advertising costs, according to The Numbers. The film didn’t play well with Rotten Tomatoes critics, who collectively gave the film a 40% “rotten” rating based on 70 reviews.
The RT Critics Consensus for the film reads, “The Woman in the Yard has plenty of spooky promise in its premise and a committed performance from Danielle Deadwyler, but the story’s heavy-handed metaphor leaves little room for scares or surprise.”

The RT audience summary reads, “With striking imagery, The Woman in the Yard honorably tackles mental health issues but withers in delivering the horror it purports.”
Produced by Jason Blum’s horror film-based Blumhouse Productions, The Woman in the Yard arrives on Peacock on June 27.
