Box Office: “Kraven the Hunter” Hunts $4.7 Mil Including Previews for $10 Mil Weekend

We’re heading to a record low holiday, here on December 14th.

The only new release is “Kraven the Hunter” — which could be the title of the Donald Trump biopic one day.

Total take for Thurs-Fri is just $4.7 million, which means the weekend is looking at $10 mil. Uh oh. Not so craven. A little lazy.

The big holiday hits are still booming away for families with “Moana 2” and “Wicked” drawing crowds probably for a second or even third time.

The new indie-ish film is “September 5,” highly recommended. This is the story of how ABC Sports handled the 1972 Munich massacre during that year’s Summer Olympics. It’s a taut 90 minutes that will keep you on the edge of your seat. You could see it in the middle of “Wicked” and still return for Elphaba’s big speech!

Also to be seen in theaters while available: “A Real Pain,” “Conclave,” and the re-release of “Interstellar,” which yesterday earned $990,000.
