The Covenant is a 2006 horror/thriller film directed by Renny Harlin and written by J.S. Cardone.
Despite the popular misconception, The Covenant is not based on a novel, graphic novel or any comic-book title. The confusion comes from the fact that Sony had a comic-book of the same name created for the purposes of promoting the movie. Just prior to the release of this movie, Top Cow Comics printed a four part comic-book miniseries by Aron Coleite and Tone Rodriguez entitled ‘The Covenant’. Neither the authors of the comic-book miniseries nor Top Cow Comics is mentioned in the movies’ credit sequences, so the comic-book miniseries is not regarded as source material by the makers of this movie.
The Covenant was widely panned by critics, getting a 3% "Rotten" rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Upon its release in the United States, the film still managed to top the box office charts with a $9,000,000 opening on what was called a "weak" weekend.
As of October 15, 2006, The Covenant has earned $23,292,105 in the US (Worldwide:$37,256,954). The film cost roughly $20 million to produce, not including marketing.
