Beetlejuice 2 tops the box office, while horror film ‘Speak No Evil’ opens strong
This weekend, the movie “Beetlejuice 2” is still the biggest hit in theaters. On Friday alone, it made $14.4 million and is expected to bring in more than $50 million by the end of the weekend. So far, it has made over $150 million since it came out, putting it among the top 10 movies of the year in the U.S.
Another movie, “Speak No Evil,” is also doing well. This scary movie made $4.9 million on its first day, including some early showings. It’s on track to make between $10 million and $13 million by the weekend’s end. This is great for a movie that only cost $15 million to make. It’s a remake of a Danish thriller from two years ago, and people seem to like it, giving it a B+ rating, which is good for horror movies.
There’s also a new movie called “Am I Racist?” from The Daily Wire. It stars Matt Walsh, who plays tricks on people to reveal the truth behind some diversity and inclusion programs. It made $1.9 million on Friday and early showings and is expected to make $4.6 million by the weekend’s end. While critics haven’t reviewed the movie, the audience gave it an A rating.
However, Lionsgate’s action movie “The Killer’s Game” didn’t do as well as expected. Starring Dave Bautista as a hitman, it only made about $1 million on Friday. The movie will likely earn less than $5 million for the weekend, even though people who saw it gave it a B+ rating. Reviews haven’t been great either.
Meanwhile, Disney’s “Deadpool & Wolverine” is still sticking around in the top five, even though it has been out for eight weeks. It made $1.4 million on Friday and is about to reach $620 million in total earnings. Soon, it could pass “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” to become one of the highest-grossing movies ever.
