“Black Adam” is easily clearing $60M for the weekend will become The Rock's biggest non-“Fast and the Furious” opening ever. The reviews have been horrible for “Black Adam,” but audiences seem to be responding to it positively. A 90% RT audience rating, CinemaScore of B+ and 7.2 on IMDB.
The big news, however, is Bloody Disgusting’s ultra-independently financed TERRIFIER 2 seeing a 100% increase in its box office intake from last weekend. Horror keeps winning. It’s been the go-to genre for a vast amount of the moviegoing public this year.
“Terrifier 2,” which I’m finally watching tonight, made $2.1 million on its third weekend of release. It now has a total domestic gross of $5.4 million on a limp budget of $250,000. That truly is a remarkable feat.
The 140 minute sequel has based its marketing on people passing out, puking and crying in bathrooms during screenings. It might actually surpass “Halloween Ends” at the box-office on Halloween weekend.
