With as successful as a niche independent horror film can be at the box office, Usiku Wakumapeto Ndi Mdyerekezi is doing even better pa mtsinje. 

The halfway-to-Halloween drop of Usiku Wakumapeto Ndi Mdyerekezi in March wasn’t out for even a month before it headed to streaming on April 19 where it remains as hot as Hades itself. It has the best opening ever for a movie on Zovuta.

In its theatrical run, it is reported that the film took in $666K at the end of its opening weekend. That makes it the highest-grossing opener ever for a theatrical IFC film. 

“Coming off a record-breaking kuthamanga kwa zisudzo, we’re thrilled to give Usiku Womaliza its streaming debut on Zovuta, as we continue to bring our passionate subscribers the very best in horror, with projects that represent the depth and breadth of this genre,” Courtney Thomasma, the EVP of streaming programming at AMC Networks told CBR. “Working alongside our sister company Mafilimu a IFC to bring this fantastic film to an even broader audience is another example of the great synergy of these two brands and how the horror genre continues to resonate and be embraced by fans.”

Sam Zimmerman, Zosokoneza VP of Programming loves that Usiku Wakumapeto Ndi Mdyerekezi fans are giving the film a second life on streaming. 

"Late Night’s success across streaming and theatrical is a win for the kind of inventive, original genre that Shudder and IFC Films aim for,” he said. “A huge congratulations to the Cairnes and the fantastic filmmaking team.”

Since the pandemic theatrical releases have had a shorter shelf life in multiplexes thanks to the saturation of studio-owned streaming services; what took several months to hit streaming a decade ago now only takes several weeks and if you happen to be a niche subscription service like Zovuta they can skip the PVOD market altogether and add a film directly to their library. 

Usiku Wakumapeto Ndi Mdyerekezi is also an exception because it received high praise from critics and therefore word of mouth fueled its popularity. Shudder subscribers can watch Usiku Wakumapeto Ndi Mdyerekezi right now on the platform.
