The Monkey, the latest horror film from director Osgood Perkins, has successfully become one of the highest-grossing Stephen King movies ever at the box office. The film has now moved past The Shining and Stand By Me to become one of the top 10 highest-grossing adaptations for King novels and short stories, a prestigious accomplishment considering King is credited as a writer on well over 100 projects. At the time of writing, The Monkey has accrued $47 million at the global box office, with $32 million coming from domestic earnings and $14 million from international markets.
