Deadline.com is calling it the “second best second weekend” of September for a movie blockbuster, with “Beetlejuice Beetle” on track to earn another $5q million+ follow up to last weekend’s $111 million opening.
That will put it within reach of the $200 million mark in North America by the end of the weekend.
“Speak No Evil” was the big “new” release, a James McAvoy villainous turn in a remake of a pretty creepy Danish thriller from a couple of years back. Good reviews boosted this real-world horror tale on Thursday night and Friday put it over $11.3 million by midnight Sunday.
“Deadpool & Wolverine” should clear $5.2 million for third place.
Fourth will go to either the slick but stupid “The Killer’s Game,” a Dave Bautista, Sofia Boutella, Terry Crews star vehicle under $3 updated) , or Matt Walsh’s disengenuous “Am I Racist?” mockumentary, both of them set up for a $4-5 million or so take.
Reviews won’t help either of those, as only wingnut-pandering pissants reviewed “Racist.”
