Box Office: ‘Trap’ Makes $2.2 Million in Previews
variety.comJordan Moreau Director M. Night Shyamalan is springing his latest “Trap.” Shyamalan’s new movie, which stars Josh Hartnett as a serial killer lured into a police sting operation while at a pop concert with his daughter, has made $2.2 million in previews at the box office.
The thriller is expected to open between $15 million and $20 million this weekend, but it will be no match for last week’s box office behemoth, Disney’s “Deadpool & Wolverine.” The Marvel blockbuster is on track to add between $75 million and $95 million in its second weekend, a drop of approximately 55% to 65% after its record-breaking $211 million.
It had the year’s biggest weekend at the box office, broke the record for an R-rated opening and will dominate once again this week.
Warner Bros.’ “Trap” follows Cooper (Hartnett), a father who takes his teen daughter Riley (Ariel Donoghue) to the sold-out concert for singer Lady Raven (played by R&B singer Saleka, who is Shaymalan’s daughter).
