The only new wide studio release this weekend is the Stage 6 and Screen Gems thriller Missing which collected $760K yesterday off of showtimes that began at 4PM at 2,650 locations.
The movie, which is from the creatives behindSony’s micro-hit, Searching, is expected to do in the mid single digits off 3,000 theaters.
Similar to Searching, Missing was made off a very thrifty budget of $7M before P&A. Missing is executive produced by Searching‘s Timur Bekmambetov, produced by Sev Ohanian and Natalie Qasabian, and storied by that previous title’s Ohanian and Aneesh Chaganty, the latter who helmed the first title.
Missing is directed by Nicholas D. Johnson and Will Merrick. The pic follows a young woman who tries to find her missing mother using tools available to her online.
