Indie Psychological Thriller Sherlock Holmes: Mare of the Night Dominates Box Office, Expands Theatrical Run

Indie thriller fans and cinephiles have a new film to celebrate—Sherlock Holmes: Mare of the Night, the gripping new psychological thriller from writer-director CJ Goodwyn, has shattered expectations and dominated the box office. This marks Goodwyn’s fourth feature film, but the first to embark on a theatrical tour, making waves in the indie film scene.

Premiering at City Base Cinemas in San Antonio on January 24, 2025, Sherlock Holmes: Mare of the Night also opened in multiple cities the same night. Against all odds, the film won the box office, surpassing major studio releases—including a new Mark Wahlberg blockbuster—proving that psychological thrillers and independent filmmaking are forces to be reckoned with.

Blending psychological tension with classic detective storytelling, the film presents a gripping new vision of the legendary sleuth. Starring Les Best as Sherlock Holmes, Mare of the Night immerses viewers in a suspenseful and thought-provoking mystery that has resonated with audiences and critics alike. Fans of Sherlock Holmes will recognize several beloved characters alongside brand-new additions created by Goodwyn. Many viewers will leave with not only a deeper appreciation for the classic detective but also new favorite characters who feel worthy of the Sherlock canon.

Adding to its appeal, the film carries an old-school Hollywood aesthetic, with moody cinematography, intricate set designs, and a storytelling approach that harkens back to the golden age of cinema. The combination of classic filmmaking techniques with modern psychological suspense gives Mare of the Night a timeless quality that sets it apart from typical contemporary thrillers.

The demand for the film was so overwhelming that its theatrical run was extended, ensuring more audiences get the chance to experience its intense, atmospheric world. With additional cities soon to join the theatrical tour, this indie thriller is showing that grassroots filmmaking can still thrive in a world dominated by Hollywood blockbusters.
