    It actually made about $17.8 million domestically and $21.7 million worldwide. So on opening weekend it has already made seven times the cost of making the film.

    I don’t watch YouTubers and know nothing about Markiplier except memes, but it’s good to see successful independent film of any sort. Congratulations to those who take chances.

      If there’s anyone that deserves it, it’s Mark. He’s easily one of the most genuine and down-to-earth creators on the platform, and it’s awesome to see his filmmaking goals finally come to fruition.

        Knew him in high school, he was rather shy but always a nice person. It’s still surreal to see pics of him in my news feed(s) but at least he is deserving of all the success and not a shitty person.

        I guess I should have tried to become better friends with him ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I’m only just slightly incredibly jealous of him!

        Its so heart warming to see someone that won’t just drink his own piss, he’ll drink his friends as well.
