A killer Santa will be no match for Wakandan warriors at the weekend box office. Without any real competition in its path, “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” looks to land in first place …
Universal’s R-rated “Violent Night” is projected to earn $10 million from 3,500 North American theaters over the weekend. The film cost $20 million to produce.
It’s been a good time at the box office for disturbingly gory movies, with “Smile,” “Terrifier 2” and “Barbarian” each beating expectations. Still, it’s unlikely that “Violent Night” will manage to dethrone “Wakanda Forever,” which is projected to add $22 million to $25 million between Friday and Sunday. So far, Disney and Marvel’s latest comic book epic has generated a mighty $369 million at the domestic box office and $678 million globally.
Directed by Norwegian filmmaker Tommy Wirkola, “Violent Night” has been promoted as a mashup of “Die Hard” and “Home Alone.” The story follows an elite group of mercenaries who break into a family compound on Christmas Eve and hold everyone hostage. But the baddies aren’t prepare for a surprise combatant — Santa Claus, hold the saint.before it lands on Paramount+ later in December.
The move may seem unusual, since “Maverick” already ranks as the fifth highest-grossing domestic release in history with $716 million, as well as the highest-grossing movie of the year with $1.48 billion globally. Whoseen it yet? But Thanksgiving was uneventful as Disney’s “Strange World” and other new offerings like “Devotion” and “The Fabelmans” failed to drive business.
