It became a major box office hit, grossing over $330 million worldwide.[5][6]
The duo also wrote and directed the thriller Haunt, produced by Eli Roth.[7] In June 2018, Beck and Woods signed on to write and executive-produce a film adaptation of Stephen King's short story The Boogeyman for 20th Century Fox and 21 Laps Entertainment.[8] Beck & Woods developed the television series Zeroes for Sony Pictures Television and Davis Entertainment.
