Another movie, “Speak No Evil,” is also doing well. This scary movie made $4.9 million on its first day, including some early showings. It’s on track to make between $10 million and $13 million by the weekend’s end. This is great for a movie that only cost $15 million to make. It’s a remake of a Danish thriller from two years ago, and people seem to like it, giving it a B+ rating, which is good for horror movies.

There’s also a new movie called “Am I Racist?” from The Daily Wire. It stars Matt Walsh, who plays tricks on people to reveal the truth behind some diversity and inclusion programs. It made $1.9 million on Friday and early showings and is expected to make $4.6 million by the weekend’s end. While critics haven’t reviewed the movie, the audience gave it an A rating.

However, Lionsgate’s action movie “The Killer’s Game” didn’t do as well as expected. Starring Dave Bautista as a hitman, it only made about $1 million on Friday. The movie will likely earn less than $5 million for the weekend, even though people who saw it gave it a B+ rating. Reviews haven’t been great either.

Meanwhile, Disney’s “Deadpool & Wolverine” is still sticking around in the top five, even though it has been out for eight weeks. It made $1.4 million on Friday and is about to reach $620 million in total earnings. Soon, it could pass “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” to become one of the highest-grossing movies ever.
