Hence, it means that Doug Davison, Roy Lee and Nathan Kahane are touted to produce it. Its production is slated to be kicked off in early 2009.

Budgeted at $9 million, "The Strangers" exceeded expectation when it debuted third on the box office weekend chart after its first weekend screening. Opened on May 30, 2008 in 2,467 theaters, the movie grossed nearly $21 million during its first three-day showing. It then continued to pull in $55.8 million from the worldwide market.
