MaXXXine is the third film in West’s X trilogy, which began with X and was followed by Pearl. Released in March 2022, X followed a film crew shooting a porno on a farm in rural Texas. The farm’s elderly owners begin stalking and killing the group after discovering the subject of their movie. X grossed over $15 million on a $1 million budget.

After X completed production, West and Goth secretly filmed Pearl, a prequel that followed the titular villain’s plan to become an access in 1918. Pearl’s failures led to her committing heinous acts on her family’s farm. Released in September 2022, Pearl grossed over $10 million, with many critics praising Goth’s performance.

Although MaXXXine received mixed reviews, it became the highest-grossing film in the trilogy with a box office haul of $21.5 million.
