Among Us (2023 film)

Among Us (also known as Among Us: The Movie) is a 2023 mystery thriller film based on the online game of the same name. It follows a group of ten astronauts who participate in a space mission, only to find out that one of them is murdering members of the crew. The film bases heavily on the aspects of the game, sans meetings being called when a body is found.

After the game garnered massive popularity in 2020, two years after its initial 2018 release, the game's developer Innersloth optioned the film rights for $5 million, and New Line Cinema won a bid. The initial cast was announced shortly after, and the film went into production two months later. However, production was troubled, and several cast members left, including Kristen Stewart, Molly Ringwald and Christian Bale, due to scheduling conflicts. Their places were taken by Ashley Olsen, Isla Fisher and Pedro Pascal, and shooting ended in late 2021. The film's pre-production was finished in 2022, and a trailer was released in July. Originally set to release in October 2022, the film was pushed back to February 2023 for undisclosed reasons.

Eventually released theatrically on February 24, 2023, the film received mixed-to-positive reviews from critics, who praised the performances of the cast and visual effects but criticized the plot and story. Nonetheless, the film was a box office success, grossing $126 million on a budget of $38 million. A sequel, titled Among Us: Impostor Rising, was released in 2025.
