Cinematicfy Movie News Reported Box Office Breakdown: ‘Speak No Evil’ & Other Films Battling for Weekend Dominance, in the world of cinema, it’s always a thrill to see which films capture the audience’s attention and dominate the box office. This weekend, all eyes are on ‘Speak No Evil’, the latest psychological horror film that promises to deliver chills. This remake of the chilling Danish original has already made waves in previews, raking in an impressive $1.3 million before its official release. With early predictions estimating an opening weekend haul between $10 million and $13 million, ‘Speak No Evil’ looks poised for a strong start despite competition from other heavy hitters.

This Blumhouse and Universal-backed film boasts a modest budget of $15 million, making its projected opening a promising feat for the studio. It’s a classic example of how horror films, when executed well, can offer a strong return on investment. ‘Speak No Evil’ tells the story of a seemingly innocent vacation gone awry, with psychological tension building throughout as an American couple is drawn into a sinister situation.

But will it be enough to dethrone the reigning champion of the box office, ‘Beetlejuice Beetlejuice’? This highly anticipated sequel from Warner Bros., helmed by Tim Burton, raked in a staggering $111 million in its opening weekend. Now entering its second week, industry experts predict a decline in sales of about 60%, which would still bring in around $45 million.

A Dark Horse: ‘Speak No Evil’ Battles at the Box Office

With competition like ‘Beetlejuice Beetlejuice’, the psychological horror film ‘Speak No Evil’ faces stiff competition. Directed by James Watkins, known for his work on films like ‘Bastille Day’, this horror film taps into the audience’s darkest fears. It centers around Louise and Ben, a seemingly normal American couple who meet a strange British duo while on vacation. What starts as an innocent getaway quickly spirals into a terrifying ordeal. As the mystery deepens, ‘Speak No Evil’ dives into psychological horror with masterful pacing and unnerving performances.

While the film’s original Danish counterpart received high praise at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival, Watkins’ adaptation has amplified the tension and introduced a new level of dread that audiences will find hard to shake. Early viewers have noted the palpable fear and unsettling atmosphere that makes the film a standout in its genre. With the horror film landscape becoming increasingly crowded, ‘Speak No Evil’ may carve out its place as one of the must-watch thrillers of the year, especially for fans of Cinematicfy and Free Cinema, platforms that spotlight films with high impact and unique storytelling.

New Competition: Lionsgate’s ‘The Killer’s Game’ Enters the Arena

Adding to the excitement of this cinematic weekend is another release, ‘The Killer’s Game’, from Lionsgate. Starring Dave Bautista, this action-packed thriller introduces a high-stakes game where an assassin mistakenly orders a hit on himself after receiving a misdiagnosis of a terminal illness. What follows is an adrenaline-fueled race against time as Bautista’s character fights to survive his own deadly error.

With an ensemble cast featuring Sofia Boutella, Pom Klementieff, and Terry Crews, ‘The Killer’s Game’ promises non-stop action and has already made $300,000 in previews. It’s expected to open with $5 million over the weekend, marking a solid entry for an action film amidst the competition. While it may not reach the heights of ‘Speak No Evil’ or ‘Beetlejuice Beetlejuice’, this film has the potential to capture the attention of action fans and gamers alike, particularly those invested in platforms like DT Games, where excitement and high-stakes drama are at the forefront.
