Key Takeaways:
– Deadpool & Wolverine is forecasted to hold the top spot with an impressive second-weekend collection in the $94 million range.
– Trap film, on the other hand, might only gather around $15 million, falling short of industry expectations.
– Twisters, in its third weekend, is performing well and could make around $22 million.
– The new film Harold and the Purple Crayon isn't doing well, with projected earnings of only $6 million.
Principal Take: Deadpool & Wolverine Dominates!
Everyone, listen up! This weekend was a box office battle royale with Marvel's superstar duo, Deadpool & Wolverine, taking charge. The guys are having quite a terrific run in their second weekend, with early estimates giving them a whopping $94 million! Indeed, their exceptional performance could even see them cross the $100 million mark. All the fanboys and fangirls out there, your votes are making a difference!
Twisters Holds Firm
Equally interesting is the show our twirling Twisters are putting on. This sequel to the beloved 1996 classic is standing strong in its third weekend. We're hearing the takings could be about $22 million. Not bad at all for an old-twister!
‘Trap' Falls into Its Own Pit
Unfortunately, we can't say the same for M. Night Shyamalan's new thriller, Trap. Despite brave Josh Hartnett leading the charge, this film doesn't seem to be scaring anyone at the box office. Far from it, Trap seems to be stepping into its own trap, with a disappointing projection of about $15 million. But hold on, this could go down even further if the word out there is fruitless. The dismal C+ CinemaScore is hinting that this might be another flat tire like M. Night Shyamalan's ‘The Watchers'.
Shout-out to Hartnett's Anyone?
Stepping away from the failing film, we must mention Josh Hartnett. His absolutely incredible performance as the lead seems to be the only shining beacon for Trap. It's really unfortunate that the rest of the film couldn't keep up with Hartnett's high-level act.
New Kid on the Block: Harold and the Purple Crayon
In other news, we have a new addition to the list – Harold and the Purple Crayon. This family-friendly flick led by Zachary Levi is falling like a shooting star, preparing to land at a sixth-place finish with takings of only around $6 million. With attention drawn elsewhere to Twisters, Despicable Me 4, and Inside Out 2, this timing seems like a bad move for Harold and his crayon.
