'The Housemaid' Meets 'Gone Girl' in Rebecca Ferguson's Forgotten Detective Thriller Leaving Netflix




The phenomenal success of The Housemaid, which grossed around $400 million worldwide against a reported budget of $35 million, was more than a decade in the making. Hollywood had always relied on books for inspiration, but it was only during the 2010s that it found an entirely new demographic on "Bookstagram" and "BookTok" — the corners of social media dedicated to popular potboilers. In the years leading up to The Housemaid, movies such as Where the Crawdads Sing, It Ends with Us, and even Little Women did solid box-office business. Streaming, on the other hand, delivered films such as The Thursday Murder Club and The Woman in Cabin 10. But this wave of book adaptations began in 2014, with David Fincher's Gone Girl, and continued with another hit movie that's celebrating its 10th anniversary this year.
