Knock at the Cabin Began Its Theatrical Run in February
Knock at the Cabin released theatrically on Feb. 3, 2023 and brought in approximately $54.1 million at the global box office, with around $35.4 coming from the United States and Canada. Based on a 2018 novel by Paul G. Tremblay titled The Cabin at the End of the World, Knock at the Cabin stars Mindhunter's Jonathan Groff, Guardians of the Galaxy's Dave Bautista, Harry Potter's Rupert Grint, Pennyworth's Ben Aldridge, Old's Nikki Amuka-Bird, Little Women's Abby Quinn and newcomer Kristen Cui. Distributed by Universal Pictures, the film received generally favorable reviews from critics as it holds a 67 percent critical rating on Rotten Tomatoes and a 63 percent audience score.
In the film, Bautista plays the soft-spoken but still intimidating character of Leonard, who arrives at Groff and Aldridge's characters' cabin with an ominous message about an impending future. Shyamalan previously spoke about why Bautista was perfect for the role, saying, "Sometimes the system doesn't allow [people] to do the thing that makes them really, really special, and sometimes with very talented people, they've used their other muscles to be successful in the system, and they feel weirdly not seen. And Dave would be an example of someone that has achieved so much in one area of entertainment, but inside he wanted to be a different thing. I think he [was] scared [about] whether he could make this turn, and I wasn't. I saw in him a man of great ethics and artistic merit, and all of his achievements in this other field, frankly, were irrelevant to me, completely irrelevant. They were neither good nor bad to me. They're unimportant to why I was casting him in this movie."
