In the latest box office update, Deadpool & Wolverine have taken the lead with an impressive $18 million on Thursday alone. This R-rated extravaganza has set a new record for non-preview Thursdays, leaving audiences in awe. The film’s total earnings for the week have reached a staggering $298.5 million, surpassing previous hits like Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
Shyamalan’s Trap
On the other hand, M. Night Shyamalan’s latest release, Trap, has faced a rocky start with $2.2 million in earnings. Despite initial excitement, the film has received a lukewarm response from critics, with a 44% Rotten rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The lack of press screenings and mixed audience reviews have cast doubts on the movie’s future success, with projections falling short of expectations.
Meanwhile, Sony’s Harold and the Purple Crayon has failed to make a significant impact at the box office, raking in a mere $725,000. The lackluster performance was expected, given the film’s lukewarm reception. It seems that this adaptation has failed to capture the hearts of audiences, despite some positive feedback from parents and children under 12.
Looking ahead, Deadpool & Wolverine are poised to continue their reign in the coming weeks, with weekend projections ranging from $84 million to $100 million. The Marvel Studios/Disney collaboration has proven to be a powerhouse at the box office, with audiences eagerly anticipating what’s next for the dynamic duo. However, Trap and Harold and the Purple Crayon face uncertain futures, with projections falling short of initial estimates.
The box office landscape is constantly evolving, with unexpected twists and turns at every corner. While some films like Deadpool & Wolverine soar to new heights, others like Trap and Harold and the Purple Crayon struggle to find their footing. It’s a reminder that success in Hollywood is never guaranteed, and even the biggest names in the industry can face setbacks. Only time will tell how these films will ultimately fare in the ever-changing world of cinema.
