Box Office: “Deadpool” Number 1 Heads to $400 Mil Tomorrow, “Trap” Crap No Mystery to Fans

BOX OFFICE UPDATING

“Deadpool and Wolverine” is still number 1. The Ryan Reynolds-Hugh Jackman Marvel send up will hit $400 million domestic on Monday, tomorrow. It’s up around $850 mil worldwide. The end is not in sight.

M. Night Shayamalan’s “Trap” is crap, basically. “The Sixth Sense” director has been making movies for 25 years. This is the second worst wide open he’s ever had. The worst was his last one. The only scary thing is that he can’t get a screenwriter to give him a good premise.

As I said yesterday, “Harold and the Purple Crayon” is DOA with just $3 million worldwide. It take a lot to screw up a 69 year old classic book with a live action movie. But these people have done it. Not a good entry on Zachary Levi’s already messy resume.

No one knows what happened to “The Instigators.” I will try and watch it today. Poor reviews. No numbers from Apple for the theatrical release. If you saw it, say something: showbiz411@gmail.com
