The dark comedy has grossed $5.39 million in Australia, and made it to number four in U.S and Canadian cinemas.

The two stars teaming up on the film sparked relationship rumours between Margot and Will, who has been married to Jada Pinkett Smith since 1997.
In October, photographs emerged of the father-of-three and the Wolf of Wall Street star getting cosy in a photo booth.
In the pictures, published in Star magazine, Margot lifts up her top to reveal a lacy white bra, as Will pulls up his own shirt, pressing his bare chest against her back.
However, Margot took to Twitter to deny any inappropriate behaviour and insisted the pair were 'just goofing around.'

Chemistry: The pair had great chemistry on set which certainly made things easy for the actors
She wrote: ‘Been working non-stop, just catching my breath. There's absolutely no truth to the ridiculous rumor in Star mag......It's disappointing that goofing around on set could be taken so out of context.’
In an interview with Nylon Online earlier this month, screen star Margot spoke about what it was like on set.
'It was incredible. I had the time of my life. I didn't want it to end. You get so close to everyone you are working with, but this one was particularly hard to let go of.

Long history: Will has been married to Jada Pinkett Smith, the mother of two of his children, since 1997
'People would hang out, the shoot would be over and you would see people still hanging around to see what everyone is doing afterwards.'
Will and Jada have two children, Jaden, 16, and Willow, 14. The actor also has a son, Trey, 22, from a previous relationship with Sheree Zampino.
Meanwhile, Margot has been dating assistant film director Tom Ackerley for eight months, after meeting him on the set of Suite Francaise in 2014.
Focus opened in Australian cinemas on March 5 and American cinemas on February 27.
