The most successful new film, according to Box Office Mojo, has been a supernatural indie-horror movie called The Wretched, which has dominated the website's daily chart since it was released on May 1.

"It’s actually been a complete shock and kind of insane," says the Detroit-raised Brett Pierce, who directed the film with his brother Drew.

We always aimed for the moon, but with an independent film you think, Yeah, we’ll come out in a few theatres, and we’ll play for like a week, and maybe ten people will see it.

"IFC were planning a release probably in fifteen theaters and then COVID hit," says Brett.

"The release date was set and it wasn't going to change," says Drew.

"Every week, IFC would be like, 'We’ve got these couple more drive-ins that are open, that are safe and willing to play it,'" says Drew.

We were like, that’s probably the best we’re ever going to do.

"That was super surreal," says Drew of watching the film under the stars.

Our sound designer is this really super-talented guy, he did all this work on the movie, and he texted me, like, 'So, my 7.1 sound mix is playing through your car stereo?' I was like, 'Yeah, sorry man.

"We’re really happy with the success of the movie but also feel bad about being happy when things are so dark for people.

"I was two years old and Drew was a newborn, essentially," says Brett.

"We found this really cool mythology about a witch called Black Annie, this witch that lives underneath a tree and eats children," says Drew.

We took those and combined them with some of our own ideas, and we felt like we had our own unique witch mythology, and we got really excited because we’d never really seen a whole lot of witches as a creature.".

"We got really excited when we got to reinvent a witch for ourselves, with The Wretched," says Brett

But we have kind of a real world take that we’re really really excited about."
